Abstract excerpt
3D constructs composed of primary normal differentiated human bronchiolar epithelial (NHBE) cells as mono- or co-culture in combination with normal human lung fibroblasts were exposed repeatedly at the air-liquid interface with non-lethal concentrations of mainstream cigarette smoke (4 cigarettes a day, 5days/week, 13 times repetition in total) to build up a permanent burden on the cells. Samples were taken after...
