Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Plevkova Jana"
- Plevkova Jana's recent research primarily focuses on cough mechanisms and responses, using various animal models, particularly guinea pigs, to investigate the efficacy of different cough challenge methods and the effects of anatomical and physiological changes on cough patterns.
- Key findings from her studies include the impact of airway resistance on cough motor patterns and the influence of oestrogen receptor degradation on cough responses, highlighting sex-based differences in cough reflex sensitivity.
- Additionally, her work emphasizes the importance of using specific pathogen-free animal models for cough research while acknowledging the challenges posed by non-natural microbiomes in translating results to clinical settings.
