Altered Airway Smooth Muscle Contractile Function in the Presence of Airway Epithelium and the Influence of TGF-β1
(2017-07-04)Airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction is a major contributor to bronchoconstriction, the narrowing of the airways observed in asthmatic airways. In vitro, ASM cells demonstrate the capacity to switch between more ... -
The Development of a 3D Piezoelectric Active Microtissue Model for Airway Smooth Muscle
(2013-04-30)Although asthma is primarily thought to be an inflammatory disease of the airways, it has recently been hypothesized that the altered mechanical environment of an asthmatic airway may contribute to the development of the ...
