Nasal Epithelial Cells: A Tool to Study Dna Methylation in Airway Diseases
1 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
A number of chronic airway diseases are characterized by high inflammation and unbalanced activation of the immune response, which lead to tissue damage and progressive reduction of the pulmonary function. Because they are exposed to various environmental stimuli, lung cells are prone to epigenomic changes. Many genes responsible for the immune response and inflammation are tightly regulated by DNA methylation,...
