Abstract excerpt
Rabbit tracheal explants, exposed to burning pine wood smoke, were cultured in a chemically defined medium with and without retinoic acid (+/- RA). Exposures of 15-20 minute led to RA-independent degeneration of the mucociliary epithelial sheath. In 10 minute exposures tissue integrity was retained, but epithelial morphology changed from normal pseudostratified columnar to the flattened appearance typical of the...
