Luminal fluid tonicity regulates airway ciliary beating by altering membrane stretch and intracellular calcium

The coordinated, directional beating of airway cilia drives airway mucociliary clearance. Here we explore the hypothesis that airway surface liquid osmolarity is a key regulator of ciliary beating. Cilia in freshly isolated human and murine airways visualized with streaming video‐microscopy exhibite...
