Delivery of nucleic acids to ex vivo porcine airways using electrospray.

abstract：:We have previously shown that intratracheally instilled silica (quartz) produces both morphologic evidence of emphysema and small-airway changes, and functional evidence of airflow obstruction. To further define the nature of the airflow-associated lesions induced by silica, we compared silica-exposed rats to rats giv...
