Airway epithelial cells act as a physical barrier against environmental toxins and injury, and modulate inflammation and the immune response. As such, maintenance of their integrity is critical.

Cigarette smoke has a greater impact on airway health than marijuana smoke or vaping, according to new research by UC Davis.

A new study supports the clinical utility of human nasal epithelial cultures as predictive biomarkers for cystic fibrosis CFTR modulator therapy.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate molecular and cellular alterations in the airway field of patients with PMLs. Endobronchial biopsies from lung sites with suspect ...

In contrast, physiological cell shedding allows the renewal of the epithelial monolayer without compromising the barrier function. Here, we investigated the role of live cell extrusion in epithelial ...

This study shows that the embryonic airway epithelial cell markers SOX-2 and TTF-1 are retained in the cyst-lining epithelial cells of CPAM human lung tissue. However, localisation of another key ...
