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

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.

A fundamental challenge for cystic fibrosis (CF) gene therapy is ensuring sufficient transduction of airway epithelial cells to achieve therapeutic correction. Vehicles such as lysophosphatidylcholine ...

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

As an example, consider the epithelial cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the human body — including the skin, intestines, airway, and reproductive tract. These cells provide a ...

Asthma is a form of bronchial disorder caused by inflammation of the bronchi. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, difficulty breathing, wheezing and coughing.
