Cigarette smoke exacerbates mouse allergic asthma through Smad proteins expressed in mast cells
... From our data, we can infer that the smoke-activated mast cells produce TGF-b, which stimulates cell activa- tion in an autocrine manner, or TGF-b released from other cells activated by cigarette smoke may activate mast ...
