Salt and fluid absorption and secretion are two processes that are fundamental to epithelial
function and whole body fluid homeostasis, and as such are tightly regulated in epithelial …

In arbitrary dimension, in the discrete setting of finite-differences we prove a Carleman
estimate for a semi-discrete parabolic operator, in which the large parameter is connected to …

Fluid and HCO3− secretion is a vital function of all epithelia and is required for the survival of
the tissue. Aberrant fluid and HCO3− secretion is associated with many epithelial diseases …

Cystic fibrosis is the most common potentially lethal autosomal recessive disease of
Caucasians, affecting 1 in 2500 newborns. Since the recent identification of the gene that is …

Cystic fibrosis results from defects in the gene encoding a cyclic adenosine monophosphate-
dependent chloride ion channel known as the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance …

Background It is unknown whether genetic factors predispose patients to idiopathic
pancreatitis. In patients with cystic fibrosis, mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane …

FROM THE PREFACE: The original purpose of the First Edition of Physiology of the
Gastrointestinal Tract to collect in one set of volumes the most current and comprehensive …

Mucus pathology in cystic fibrosis (CF) has been known for as long as the disease has been
recognized and is sometimes called mucoviscidosis. The disease is marked by mucus …

THE cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a phosphorylation-
regulated Cl-channel located in the apical membrane of epithelia1–10. Although cystic …

We have used in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry to characterize the cellular
distribution of cystic fibrosis (CF) gene expression in human bronchus. The cystic fibrosis …
