Mucus secretion and mucociliary transport are essential defense mechanisms of the airways.
Deviations in mucus composition and secretion can impede mucociliary transport and elicit …

NOD-like receptors (NLRs) play a large role in regulation of host innate immunity, yet their
role in periodontitis remains to be defined. NLRX1, a member of the NLR family that localizes …

We sought to review the epidemiology, international geographical distribution, and economic
consequences of selected swine zoonoses. We performed literature searches in two stages…

The nervous system mediates key airway protective behaviors, including cough, mucus
secretion, and airway smooth muscle contraction. Thus, its involvement and potential …

Irregular nuclear shapes characterized by blebs, lobules, micronuclei, or invaginations are
hallmarks of many cancers and human pathologies. Despite the correlation between …
