Abstract Survival relies on neural respiratory drive from the medullary respiratory centres to activate the respiratory muscles for breathing. Accurate assessment of respiratory muscle activity, as an estimate of neural respiratory drive in humans, will facilitate a greater understanding of respiratory physiology, the pathophysiology of diseases and ...

ABSTRACT Smoking is the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with corticosteroid resistance. Given the paucity of data on human lung preparations, macrophages (LMs), and parenchymal explants (LPEs) were exposed to cigarette smoke extracts (CSE) in the presence or absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Moreover, LMs
