Bronchoconstriction Induces TGF-β Release and Airway Remodelling in Guinea Pig Lung Slices

Airway remodelling, including smooth muscle remodelling, is a primary cause of airflow limitation in asthma. Recent evidence links bronchoconstriction to airway remodelling in asthma. The mechanisms involved are poorly understood. A possible player is the multifunctional cytokine TGF-β, which plays...
