Offers presentations on the basic science and clinical aspects of cilia, mucus and mucociliary interactions. The text includes discussions on the genetic determinants of mucociliary system structure and function, explanations of ciliary wave activity in cell-cell communication, and elucidations of many of the key physiological processes in ciliary regulation.
