PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MUCUS OF XENOPUS EMBRYOS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 我们想通过使用RICS和FCS观察荧光葡聚糖的扩散来测量爪蟾胚胎皮肤上粘液的厚度和粘度。 我们想知道粘液是如何与运动纤毛相互作用的。我们还想知道粘液是如何受到pH值的影响的，这对囊性纤维化等疾病很重要。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We would like to measure the thickness and viscosity of mucus on the skin of Xenopus embryos by watching the diffusion of fluorescent dextrans using RICS and FCS. We want to know how the mucus interacts with the motile cilia. We also want to know how the mucus is affected by pH. This is important for diseases like cystic fibrosis.
