Empirical and Theoretical Analysis of Particle Diffusion in Mucus
Empirical and Theoretical Analysis of Particle Diffusion in Mucus
Mucus is a complex fluid that coats multiple organs in animals. Various physicochemical properties can alter the diffusion of microscopic particles in mucus, impacting drug delivery, virus infection, and disease development. The simultaneous effect of these physicochemical properties in particle diffusion, however, remains elusive. Here, we analyzed 106 published experiments …
