Mitochondrial dysfunction in human primary alveolar type II cells in emphysemaResearch in context
Background: Cigarette smoke is the main risk factor of pulmonary emphysema development, which is characterized by alveolar wall destruction. Mitochondria are important for alveolar type II (ATII) cell metabolism due to ATP generation. Methods: We isolated ATII cells from control non-smoker and smoke...
