Study results from West Virginia University, Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center provide new insights into life sciences

Investigators publish new data in the report 'Simultaneous measurement of mechanical responses and transepithelial potential difference and resistance, in guinea-pig isolated, perfused trachea using a novel apparatus: pharmacological characterization.' "The isolated, perfused trachea preparation has been used to compare reactivity of the intact airway in response to differential exposure of the mucosal (intraluminal) and serosal (extraluminal) surfaces to contractile and relaxant agonists and other agents, and to gain insight into the modulatory role of the epithelium and the pathways involved. The apparatus has also been configured for simultaneous measurement of transepithelial potential...
