Waterpipe smoke condensate activates autophagy in non-tumorigenic lung epithelial cells: Implications for inflammation and stemness

Waterpipe smoking has emerged as a major global health concern, with incompletely characterized effects on bronchial epithelial cells. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxic and adaptive responses of non-tumorigenic human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells exposed to waterp...
