This paper introduces an optimized method to measure extracellular ATP in human airway samples, showing improved stability and specificity for eATP quantification.

This paper presents open-source 3D printed manifolds for uniform airborne exposure of airway epithelial cells in vitro, showing reduced variation in aerosol deposition and functional responses to cannabis and tobacco smoke.

This paper identifies intronic regulatory elements of ACE2 that respond to immune signaling and oxidative stress, influencing ACE2 expression and viral susceptibility.

The paper analyzes ABC transporter gene expression in human airway epithelial cells under cigarette smoke, COPD, and asthma conditions, identifying differentially expressed transporters and validating findings with an in vitro model.

This study compares the effects of cannabis and tobacco smoke on human airway epithelial cells, showing similar impairments in barrier function and antiviral responses, with no benefit from formoterol/budesonide treatment.
