Noncystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis: From Foundation to Clinical Practice

Recorded: March 12, 2025

In this webinar, experts examine the molecular structure, biochemical composition, and physiological functions of airway mucus, with particular emphasis on its interactions with the respiratory microbiome. Panelists explore how alterations in mucus properties contribute to impaired mucociliary clearance and the development and progression of noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. They also highlight the mechanistic rationale and clinical importance of airway clearance therapies in restoring mucus transport, reducing microbial burden, mitigating airway inflammation, and improving respiratory outcomes. This webinar is brought to you by the CHEST Airways Disorders Network’s Bronchiectasis Section.
