Air pollution linked to pneumonia cells
A study by Louisiana State University has revealed that certain cells in the airways, known as "club cells," play a central role in lung damage caused by air pollution, particularly by detecting harmful compounds that lead to inflammation and increased mucus production. The researchers explained that inhibiting the aromatic hydrocarbon receptors in these cells prevents inflammation and tissue damage, opening new horizons for the treatment of respiratory diseases like asthma.
