Abstract: Smoking disturbs the bronchial‐mucus‐barrier. This study assesses the cellular composition and gene expression shifts of the bronchial‐mucus‐barrier with smoking to understand the mechanism of mucosal damage by cigarette smoke exposure. We explore whether single‐cell‐RNA‐sequencing (scRNA‐seq)… read more here.
