Produktbeschreibung

0-8247-0138-0
Written by nearly 60 of the world's leading investigators in this rapidly expanding field, this state-of-the-art reference furnishes detailed presentations on the basic science and clinical aspects of cilia, mucus, and mucociliary interactions.
Providing stimulating coverage of the latest information in a single source, Cilia, Mucus, and Mucociliary Interactions

discusses the genetic determinants of mucociliary system structure and function

explains ciliary wave activity in cell-cell communication

elucidates many of the key physiological processes in ciliary regulation

reveals possible means of treating irregularities in mucus secretion and clearance

improves understanding of clinical syndromes, including abnormalities pertaining to nasal sinuses, upper and lower airways, and the systemic role of cilia

approaches the clinical management of mucociliary dysfunction logically using currently available diagnostic and therapeutic techniques

and much more!
Containing bibliographic citations, tables, equations, drawings, and photographs, this exhaustive guide is essential reading for physiologists, pulmonologists, otolaryngologists, pediatricians, microbiologists, basic scientists, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
Written by nearly 60 of the world's leading investigators in this rapidly expanding field. Furnishes detailed presentations on the basic science and clinical aspects of cilia, mucus, and mucociliary interactions.
