Electronic cigarettes: a survey of perceived patient use and attitudes among members of the British thoracic oncology group.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recent studies have indicated the presence of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in human lung diseases. Excess airway smooth muscle, myofibroblasts and activated fibroblasts have each been noted in asthma, suggesting that mesenchymal progenitor cells play a role in asthma pathogenesis. We therefor...
