Tissue fibrocytes in patients with mild asthma: A possible link to thickness of reticular basement membrane?

BACKGROUND: Myofibroblasts, proposed as being derived from circulating fibrocytes, are considered to be important cells in thickening of the basement membrane in patients with asthma. We have studied the correlation of tissue fibrocyte levels to basement membrane thickness and the presence of fibroc...
