Airway smooth muscle (ASM) plays an integral part in the pathophysiology of asthma. It is
responsible for acute bronchoconstriction, which is potentiated by constrictor …

Bronchial thermoplasty is a young yet promising treatment for severe asthma whose benefit
for long-term asthma control outweighs the short-term risk of deterioration and …

Background Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a non-pharmacological intervention for severe
asthma whose mechanism of action is not completely explained by a reduction of airway …

Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels play critical roles in physiological and

Bronchial thermoplasty is a treatment for asthma. It is currently unclear whether its
histopathological impact is sufficiently explained by the proportion of airway wall that is …

advocated as an effective treatment option for severe asthma. The mechanism is promoted …

Bronchial Thermoplasty (BT) is an endoscopic treatment for moderate-to-severe asthma
patients who are uncontrolled despite optimal medical therapy. Effectiveness of BT has been …

Purpose Bronchial thermoplasty is approved in many countries worldwide as a non-
