Intrinsic biochemical and functional differences in bronchial epithelial cells of children with asthma

Intrinsic biochemical and functional differences in bronchial epithelial cells of children with asthma

Rationale: Convincing evidence of epithelial damage and aberrant repair exists in adult asthmatic airways, even in the absence of inflammation. However, comparable studies in children have been limited by access and availability of clinical samples. Objectives: To determine whether bronchial epithel...
