Our goal is to understand the normal repair processes in the airway to develop novel targeted therapies and prevention strategies for lung diseases.

Excited to share our Cystic Fibrosis Lung Stem Cell Consortium work on single cell RNA sequencing of the airways https://t.co/dNBYy6z4qZ

New Brief Report online now CellStemCell: Direct exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and cigarette smoke increases infection severity and alters the stem cell-derived airway repair response https://t.co/aDSbtAqmDI

@phil_w888 @UCLAstemcell @PlathLab The WHO concluded that the available evidence suggests that smoking is associated with increased severity of disease and death in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Our data directly shows this increased severity and explains why.

.@uclastemcell researchers using a model of airway tissue created from human stem cells have pinpointed how smoking cigarettes causes more severe infection by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in the airways of the lungs. @cellstemcell https://t.co/aA31pxxBp1

Center members Dr. Brigitte Gomperts, Vaithilingaraja Arumugaswami and Kathrin Plath @plathlab were part of a research team that identified how smoking cigarettes can lead to a more severe COVID-19 infection in the airways
