Cigarette smoke (CS) induces oxidative stress and chronic inflammation in airway epithelium. It is a major risk factor for respiratory diseases, characterized by epithelial injury. The impact of CS on airway epithelial repair, which involves epitheli...
Respiratory tract epithelium infection plays a primary role in Nipah virus (NiV) pathogenesis and transmission. Knowledge about infection dynamics and host responses to NiV infection in respiratory tract epithelia is scarce. Studies in non-differenti...
Increasing evidence suggests that acquired dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel occurs as a result of cigarette smoke exposure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). CFTR-targeted thera...
