Research Article: Lung Fibroblasts from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Subjects Have a Deficient Gene Expression Response to Cigarette Smoke Extract Compared to Healthy

Date Published: 2023-12-18

Introduction:
It is well known that cigarette smoking is the most common cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) yet there is still no treatment available to cure or stop the progression of COPD.
