Figure 1From: A new paradigm in respiratory hygiene: increasing the cohesivity of airway secretions to improve cough interaction and reduce aerosol dispersionSchematic diagram of the macromolecules of mucus with the different types of crosslinks. Sodium tetraborate would contribute to crosslink formation involving accessible galactose moieties in the oligosaccharide side-chains. Calcium chloride would add crosslinking through divalent ionic interactions.Back to article page
