Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease resulting in airflow obstruction, which in
part can become irreversible to conventional therapies, defining the concept of airway …

Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways that may result from exposure to allergens
or other environmental irritants, resulting in bronchoconstriction, wheezing, and shortness of …

Structural changes involving tissue remodelling and fibrosis are major features of many
pulmonary diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and …

Accurate prediction of peritoneal metastasis for gastric cancer (GC) with serosal invasion is
crucial in clinic. The presence of collagen in the tumour microenvironment affects the …

Asthma affects an estimated 262 million people worldwide and caused over 461,000 deaths

Background Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one of the mechanisms of airway
remodeling in chronic asthma. Interleukin (IL)-24 has been implicated in the promotion of …

The lungs are affected by illnesses including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the scaffold that provides structure and support to all
organs, including the lung; however, it is also much more than this. The ECM provides …

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a reversible process, in which epithelial cells
lose their epithelial traits and acquire a mesenchymal phenotype. This transformation has …
