cGAS-STING drives alveolar epithelial cell dysfunction in cigarette smoke-induced lung injury

2026-06-16

Abstract excerpt

Chronic inflammation induced by cigarette smoke (CS) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but its impact on lung epithelial progenitor function and regenerative capacity remains incompletely understood. Here, we combined in vivo and in vitro approaches to dissect how CS exposure and subsequent inflammatory insults shape epithelial repair dynamics. A 6-week who...
