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
According to a new study from the University of Iowa, uncommon lung cells known as pulmonary ionocytes aid in the absorption of water and salt from the airway surface. This function of these cells is the polar opposite of what was expected, and it may have ramifications for cystic fibrosis (
