Abstract: Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) often defines asthma. Murine allergic airway disease (AAD), like human eosinophilic asthma, is characterized by AHR, eosinophilia, goblet cell metaplasia (GCM), smooth muscle hypercontractility, and increased production of IL-4 and IL-13—cytokines that… read more here.
