Epithelial damage was induced in Primary Bronchial Epithelial Cells and 16HBE14o- cells by oxidative stress or freeze/thaw and release of IL33 evaluated by ELISA and Western Blot. BAL was ...

Introduction Recent work has shown that tobacco smoke exposure increases the mutational burden and cell-to-cell mutational heterogeneity of the normal bronchial epithelium. However, smoking cessation ...

Methods Inhalation toxicity of HTP (IQOS; tobacco flavour), e-cigarette (MarkTen; tobacco flavour) and tobacco cigarette (Marlboro Red) was examined in vitro using an air–liquid interface with human ...

“I believe we've hit not only the cell of origin for lung adenocarcinoma, but also the pathway of origin,” says Kadara. This cancer originates in the epithelial cells that line the lung’s ...

The total number of leukocytes recovered by lavage ... number of cells recovered per lavage and as the concentration of cells per milliliter of recovered fluid. Red blood cells and epithelial ...

A proper balance between self-renewal and differentiation of lung-specific progenitors at the distal epithelial tips is absolutely required for normal lung ...

Acute lung injury; CINC: Cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant; CXCR: CXC chemokine receptor; ENA: Epithelial cell-derived neutrophil-activating peptide; GRO-α: Growth-related protein-α.

Human lung epithelial cell line A549 (derived from human pulmonary adenocarcinoma) and human embryonic kidney epithelial cell line HEK293 were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, ...

Objective: To confirm and extend these findings. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was performed on BAL cells and bronchial mucosal biopsy sections obtained through bronchoscopy from 14 healthy smokers ...
