Different Influence Pattern of Conventional and Alternative Sources of Smoking on Adhesion Molecules and Cytokine Secretion in THP-1 Monocytes

CONCLUSION: Our data indicate differential immunological consequences of different conventional and alternative smoking sources with and without nicotine. Further comprehensive analysis as well as in vivo investigations on peripheral blood monocyte subsets from smoking individuals using different smoking sources are required to better understand the impact on monocyte characteristics, especially with regard to the development of cancer.PMID:38537980 | DOI:10.21873/anticanres.16941
