Midkine Is Part of the Antibacterial Activity Released at the Surface of Differentiated Bronchial Epithelial Cells

To resist infections, robust defense mechanisms of the airways are essential. Retinoic acid promotes differentiation and maintains the phenotypic characteristics of bronchial epithelium. In addition, it induces the expression of the antibacterial growth factor midkine (MK). In the present study, we...
