Goblet cell interactions reorient bundled mucus strands for efficient airway clearance
The respiratory tract of larger animals is cleared by swee** bundled strands along the
airway surface. These bundled strands can be millimetric in length and consist of MUC5B …

On the role of viscoelasticity in mucociliary clearance: a hydrodynamic continuum approach
We present numerical and analytical predictions of mucociliary clearance based on the
continuum description of a viscoelastic mucus film, where momentum transfer from the …

Effects of continuous and discrete boundary conditions on the movement of upper-convected maxwell and Newtonian mucus layers in coughing and sneezing
Mucociliary clearance is an important phenomenon inside the respiratory system as a first
defensive mechanism against pathogens. Therefore, any assumption considered for the …

Hydrodynamic coupling of a cilia–mucus system in Herschel–Bulkley flows
The yield stress and shear thinning properties of mucus are identified as critical for ciliary
coordination and mucus transport in human airways. We use here numerical simulations to …
