Novel regulators of alveolar liquid clearance

Symposium
Chairs: B. Crestani (Paris, France), J. Hamacher (Bern, Switzerland)
Aims: The aims of this symposium are to: update the audience on the identification of ion and fluid transporters, other than the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), which are implicated in sodium transport and alveolar liquid clearance; and discuss the identification of novel regulators of alveolar epithelial sodium uptake, which could lead to novel therapeutic approaches for combating oedema formation and cystic fibrosis.
