In mammals, multiciliated cells (MCCs) line the lumen of the trachea, oviduct, and brain ventricles, where they drive fluid flow across the epithelium. Each MCC population experiences vastly different local environments that may dictate differences in their lifetime and turnover rates. However, with the exception of MCCs in the trachea, the turnover rates of these multiciliated epithelial populations at extended time scales are not well described.

小鼠气管、输卵管和大脑中多纤毛细胞更新的比较研究。

在哺乳动物中，多纤毛细胞 (MCC) 排列在气管、输卵管和脑室的腔内，在那里它们驱动流体流过上皮。每个 MCC 人口都经历了截然不同的当地环境，这可能决定了他们的生命周期和周转率的差异。然而，除了气管中的 MCC，这些多纤毛上皮群体在延长的时间尺度上的周转率没有得到很好的描述。
