Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The integrity of the airway epithelium is guarded by the airway basal cells that serve as progenitor cells and restore wounds in case of injury. Basal cells are a heterogenous population, and specific changes in their behavior are associated with chronic barrier disruption-mechanisms that have not been studied in detail in allergic rhinitis (AR). OBJECTIVE: We aimed to study basal cell subtypes in AR...
