Club cells inhibit alveolar epithelial wound repair via TRAIL-dependent apoptosis.

Club cells (Clara cells) participate in bronchiolar wound repair and regeneration. Located in the bronchioles, they become activated during alveolar injury in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and migrate into the affected alveoli, a process called alveolar bronchiolisation. The purpose of this migration and the role of club cells in alveolar wound repair is controversial. This study was unde...

Review: beta2-agonists are ineffective but increase adverse effects in acute bronchitis without underlying pulmonary disease.
