Paracellular transport through healthy and cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial cell lines--do we have a proper model?

It has been reported recently that the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) besides transcellular chloride transport, also controls the paracellular permeability of bronchial epithelium.
