Cilia Mucus Interactions and Regulation of ASL Volume in NL and CF Respiratory Epithelia: ASL recoveries mediated by cilial-strain-induced ATP release for (a) NL model, (b) CF model. The solid line is the ASL recoveries (%) by simulating the mucus viscosity as a function of ASL osmotic pressure LMAosm = 0.154(10h/3.15)1/3. The dash line is the ASL recoveries (%) by simulating the mucus viscosity as a function of ASL height LMAh = 0.3 – 0.15(h − hcf)/(hopthcf).
