The cellular composition of the lung lining fluid gradually changes from bronchus to alveolus
Abstract Although large advances have recently been made mapping out the cellular composition of lung tissue using single cell sequencing, the composition and distribution of the cellular elements within the lining fluid of the lung has not been extensively studied. Here, we assessed the cellular co...
