The upper respiratory system, or upper respiratory tract, consists of the nose and nasal cavity, the pharynx, and the larynx. These structures allow us to breathe and speak. They warm and clean the air we inhale: mucous membranes lining upper respiratory structures trap some foreign particles, ...
The barrier function of the nasal epithelium can be analyzed in vitro by performing absorption tests of labeled molecules, as has been done with the skin [113], in parallel to visualizing tight junction markers by immunofluorescence on tissue sections. Reproducing the immune function of the nasal ...
