  "summary": "Mucociliary epithelia (MCE) line multiple vertebrate organs, including the mammalian airways, and rely on coordinated interactions among specialized cell types to clear pathogens and maintain epithelial homeostasis. Proper MCE function requires the appropriate specification and spatial organization of ionocytes, multiciliated cells, secretory cells, and basal cells. Ionocytes regulate ion…",
