  "summary": "Motile cilia demonstrate coordinated beating to propel fluids across epithelial tissues, and changes to their beating frequency are largely regulated by intracellular second messengers including Ca2+. In the airway epithelium, ciliary beating is essential to mucociliary clearance. Mucociliary clearance involves trapping inhaled pathogens and irritants in sticky mucus lining the airways for motile…",
