Disparate oxidant gene expression of airway epithelium compared to alveolar macrophages in smokers
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The small airway epithelium and alveolar macrophages are exposed to oxidants in cigarette smoke leading to epithelial dysfunction and macrophage activation. In this context, we asked: what is the transcriptome of oxidant-related gene...
