Cigarette smoke-induced injury induces distinct sex-specific transcriptional signatures in mice tracheal epithelial cells

Abstract excerpt

The study underscores the importance of considering sex-specific differences in the airway epithelium in respiratory diseases such as COPD. Differences in gene expression between males and females at baseline and in response to chronic injury in the airway epithelium could have implications on disease susceptibility, both in COPD and other respiratory diseases. Therefore, understanding these differences is...
