Rhinovirus Delays Cell Repolarization in a Model of Injured/Regenerating Human Airway Epithelium
27 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Rhinovirus (RV), which causes exacerbation in patients with chronic airway diseases, readily infects injured airway epithelium and has been reported to delay wound closure. In this study, we examined the effects of RV on cell repolarization and differentiation in a model of injured/regenerating airway epithelium (polarized, undifferentiated cells). RV causes only a transient barrier disruption in a model of...
