Airway smooth muscle (ASM) extends from the trachea throughout the bronchial tree to the
terminal bronchioles. In utero, spontaneous phasic contraction of fetal ASM is critical for …

The increased proliferation and migration of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) are critical
processes in the formation of airway remodeling in asthma. Long non-coding RNAs …

The airway smooth muscle (ASM) surrounding the airways is dysfunctional in both asthma
and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), exhibiting; increased contraction …

As an analog to the endothelium situated next to the vascular smooth muscle, the epithelium
is emerging as an important regulator of smooth muscle contraction in many vital …

Airway smooth muscle (ASM) manifests a hyperresponsive phenotype in airway disorders
such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis. Current …

Background Inhaled house dust mite (HDM) results in T‐helper (TH) 2 type pathology in
unsensitized mice, in conjunction with airway hyperreactivity and airway remodelling …

In addition to hyperresponsiveness in asthma, airway smooth muscle (ASM) also manifests
an inflammatory phenotype characterized by augmented expression of mediators that …

Allergic asthma is a chronic and progressive inflammatory disease for which there is no
satisfactory treatment. Studies reported tolerability and efficacy of an anti‐asthma herbal …

The major characteristic of asthma is persistent airway inflammation that fails to resolve
spontaneously. Dysregulation of pro-and anti-inflammatory mechanisms is responsible for …

Biomarkers provide important diagnostic and prognostic information on heterogeneous
diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, finding a …
