Mucociliary Clearance Augmenting Drugs Block SARS-Cov-2 Replication in Human Airway Epithelial Cells

“The reduction or loss of MCT by SARS-CoV-2 is expected to have consequential effects on COVID-19 illness, including accelerating or worsening descending infection of the airways, prolonged illness due to mucus plugging and risk for secondary infections."

Mucociliary Clearance Augmenting Drugs Block SARS-Cov-2 Replication in Human Airway Epithelial Cells

COVID-19 Causes Ciliary Dysfunction as Demonstrated by Human Intranasal Micro-Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging

COVID increases the risk of secondary infections by impairing mucosal clearance.

"Our results demonstrate profound ciliary loss in the nasal epithelium even in subjects with mild disease and shed light on mechanisms that... probably predispose patients to secondary infections."
