Declarations
:
: This study was conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice guidelines and the Declaration of Helsinki. Fresh frozen PM tissue samples used in this study were previously collected in the Biobank of the Antwerp University Hospital and retrospectively used in this study which was approved by the UZA ethical committee (Reference number 16/23/248). According to Article 20 of the Belgian Law on the procurement and use of human corporal material intended for human application or scientific research of 19 December 2008, patients provide consent for the use of their bodily material in research when consenting to an invasive procedure. As such, no additional consent was needed for the use of these retrospective samples. For prospectively collected healthy pleural tissue samples, written informed consent was given by each subject. The study protocol was approved by the UZA ethical committee (EDGE number 002046) before experimental analyses were performed.
