Sentences with phrase «ciliary function»

The lack of coordination and ineffectiveness of the ciliary function result in a slow clearance of mucus from the airways; this in turn results in chronic mucus plugging and inflammation of nasal cavities, trachea and lower airways.

Expression trends of specific genes related to muco - ciliary function and airway restitution as compared with smoking status and lung cancer: TFF3, CABYR, and MUC5AC are over expressed in current smokers with lowered expression in both former and never smokers.

Defective ciliary function therefore leads to defective destruction of key proteins, which then causes problems in interpreting the Wnt signal.

Not exact matches

We also aim at understanding how different cilia are built and we use drosophila as a model system to understand the specialized function of ciliary genes in different ciliated cells and ciliary sub-compartments.

The gene product's precise role is not currently understood but it is thought to anchor regulatory complexes at the photoreceptor connecting cilium, which acts as a bridge between the inner and outer segments of photoreceptor cells [43] as well as having functions in disk morphogenesis [42] and in the structure of the ciliary axoneme [44].
