Abstract excerpt
Air pollution stimulates airway epithelial secretion through a cholinergic reflex that is unaffected in cystic fibrosis (CF), yet a strong correlation is observed between passive smoke exposure in the home and impaired lung function in CF children. Our aim was to study the effects of low smoke concentrations on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function in vitro. Cigarette smoke extract...
