EC Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine

The evidence on the role of neuroendocrine cells and neuroepithelial bodies, as essential pulmonary parts of diffuse neuroendocrine system is briefly discussed in relation to non-respiratory functions of the lungs, outlining also some our own, earlier and recent hypotheses.
