MicroRNA expression profiling defines the impact of electronic cigarettes on human airway epithelial cells

Abstract While all forms of tobacco exposure have negative health effects, the significance of exposure to electronic cigarettes (eCig) is not fully understood. Here, we studied the global effects of eCig on the micro RNA (miRNA) transcriptome in human lung epithelial cells. Primary human bronchial...
