In vitro investigations of transforming growth factor-β2 induced airway wall remodelling
Airway wall remodelling contributes to decreased lung function in asthma. Key features of the remodelling process are thickening of the reticular basement membrane, differentiation of fibroblast-like cells with contractile properties termed myofibroblasts and sub-epithelial deposition of extracellul...
