Immuno-modulatory Factors and Glucocorticoid-Insensitive Proteins in Asthma
Explore the role of immuno-modulatory factors and glucocorticoid-insensitive proteins produced in asthma pathogenesis, affecting airway remodeling, hyper-responsiveness, and immune cell interactions in ASM tissues of asthmatic patients.
