According to the Italian researchers, the most used assay, the neutral red uptake, should be combined with different tools (enlisted in the study) to better identifies the toxicity of the products and can avoid approximate and incorrect evaluation
Professor Riccardo Polosa discuss in an interview on Medical Tribune the results of his study: heated tobacco products produce fewer exacerbations and better quality of life in COPD patients compared to conventional cigarettes.
