Getting neural about airway gland secretion

Alterations in host defence functions of the airway epithelium play a central role in chronic airway diseases [1] by contributing to airway mucus obstruction, microbial dysbiosis and chronic airway inflammation. The contribution of altered epithelial functions to the pathogenesis of airway diseases is well illustrated in cystic fibrosis (CF), a monogenetic disease caused by inherited mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance...
