Vaping-Induced Proteolysis Causes Airway Surface Dehydration
Proteases such as neutrophil elastase cleave and activate the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), causing airway dehydration. Our current study explores the impact of increased protease levels in vapers’ airways on ENaC activity and airway dehydration. Human bronchial epithelial cultures (HBECs) were...
