Polarized Signaling via Purinoceptors in Normal and Cystic Fibrosis Airway Epithelia

Airway epithelia are confronted with distinct signals emanating from the luminal and/or serosal environments. This study tested whether airway epithelia exhibit polarized intracellular free calcium (Ca2+ i) and anion secretory responses to 5′ triphosphate nucleotides (ATP/UTP), which may be released...
