Fibroblast crosstalk promotes mucin synthesis by COPD-derived airway epithelial cells
{{output}}
Chronic mucus hypersecretion (CMH) is a common feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). One of the major factors contributing to CMH is excessive mucin release by the airway epithelium. We hypothesized that fibroblasts support mucociliary diffe... ...
