Mechanical properties of gelatin nanoparticles in dependency of crosslinking time and storage.
Microrheology imaging of fiber suspensions - a case study for lyophilized collagen I in HCl solutions.
TLDR
MPT imaging and microrheology will help to better understand the effect of fiber distribution and network structure on the viscoelastic properties of complex suspensions and propose a structure comprising multiple fiber bundles with dense regions inaccessible to tracers and elastic regions of different stiffness in between.
Visualization of the structure of native human pulmonary mucus.
Microfluidics as tool to prepare size-tunable PLGA nanoparticles with high curcumin encapsulation for efficient mucus penetration
TLDR
The permeability of muco-penetrating PLGA NPs through pulmonary human mucus was assessed; small NPs with a diameter of less than 100 nm showed fast permeation, underlining the potential of microfluidics for such pharmaceutical applications.
Mucus Microrheology Measured on Human Bronchial Epithelium Culture
TLDR
An original method to measure mucus microrheology on human bronchial epithelium culture using optical tweezers is described and it is shown that mucus gradually varies in rheological response, from an elastic behavior close to the epit Helium to a viscous one far away.
3D viscoelastic drag forces contribute to cell shape changes during organogenesis in the zebrafish embryo
TLDR
A fully 3D vertex-like (Voronoi) model for the tissue architecture is developed, and it is demonstrated that the tissue can generate drag forces and drive cell shape changes, suggesting that 3D viscoelastic drag forces could be a generic mechanism for cell shape change in other biological processes.

Altering Mucus Rheology to “Solidify” Human Mucus at the Nanoscale
TLDR
It is reported that fresh, undiluted human cervicovaginal mucus transitions from an impermeable elastic barrier to non-adhesive objects sized 1 µm and larger to a highly permeable viscoelastic liquid tonon-adhesion objects smaller than 500 nm in diameter.

Enhanced Viscoelasticity of Human Cystic Fibrotic Sputum Correlates with Increasing Microheterogeneity in Particle Transport*
TLDR
Treatment with recombinant human DNase (Pulmozyme®) reduces macroviscoelastic properties of CF sputum by up to 50% and dramatically narrows the distribution of individual particle diffusion rates but surprisingly does not significantly alter the ensemble-average particle diffusion rate.

Rapid transport of large polymeric nanoparticles in fresh undiluted human mucus
TLDR
It is demonstrated that large nanoparticles, if properly coated, can rapidly penetrate physiological human mucus, and they offer the prospect thatLarge nanoparticles can be used for mucosal drug delivery.
Tracheobronchial mucus viscoelasticity during environmental challenge in horses with recurrent airway obstruction.
TLDR
It is concluded that viscoelastic properties of tracheal mucus samples from RAO horses in remission do not differ from those of normal horses, however, environmental challenge causes clinical signs of small airway disease and a concurrent increase in mucus viscoELasticity only in RAO animals.

TLDR
Microliter quantities of normal canine tracheobronchial mucus were obtained by direct sampling from the tracheas of anesthetized dogs using a newly developed magnetic rheometer, showing a very rapid decrease in dynamic viscosity with increasing frequency, and much less rapid increase in elasticity.
A Periciliary Brush Promotes the Lung Health by Separating the Mucus Layer from Airway Epithelia
TLDR
A gel-on-brush model is proposed in which the periciliary layer is occupied by membrane-spanning mucins and mucopolysaccharides densely tethered to the airway surface and causes mucus to form a distinct layer.
