Summary

This study looks at how a common inhaled steroid (fluticasone propionate) changes gene activity and cell types in the lungs of 30 healthy adults. Participants will take the steroid for 4 weeks and undergo a bronchoscopy to collect airway samples. The goal is to understand the drug's effects on healthy lungs, not to treat any disease.
