Asymmetrical length adaptation in airway smooth muscle : possible mechanisms
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) regulates flow resistance in the airways of the lung. Dysfunction of the smooth muscle is implicated in the exaggerated airway narrowing seen in asthma, possibly due to adaptation of ASM to excessively short lengths. In this study, we examined the behaviour of ASM in its a...
