The mechanisms of HIV-associated emphysema are not understood. Based on the knowledge that human airway basal cells (BC) function as stem/progenitor cells capable of differentiation into specialized ciliated and secretory cells during natural turnover and repair in response to injury, we hypothesized that HIV interacts with, and consequently induces pathologic programming of the BC that contributes to the development of emphysema.2017/09/06GSE85538GSM2276641GSM2276640GSM2276645GSM2276644GSM2276643GSM2276642GSM2276638GSM2276647GSM2276646GSM227663911154SRP08144585538Homo sapiens[28494859]
