An in vitro and in silico study of altered airway smooth muscle structure and function in a remodelled asthmatic airway
Inflammatory processes in the airway lead to altered extracellular matrix (ECM) and increased airway smooth muscle (ASM), which is responsible for the rapid contraction of asthmatic airways during exacerbations. Increased ASM contributes substantially to the thickening of airways (airway remodelling...
