Rare lungs cells play important role in cystic fibrosis: Study
Updated : 7 months, 3 weeks ago IST
A new study from the University of Iowa found that pulmonary ionocytes, which are uncommon lung cells, aid in the absorption of water and salt from the airway surface. This cell behaviour is the polar opposite of what was expected, and it could have implications for cystic fibrosis (CF) lung
