Small Interfering RNA Targeting Nerve Growth Factor Alleviates Allergic Airway Hyperresponsiveness

Airway hyperresponsiveness is the hallmark of allergic asthma and caused by multiple factors. Nerve growth factor (NGF), a neurotrophin, is originally known for regulation of neural circuit development and function. Recent studies indicated that NGF contributes to airway hyperresponsiveness and path...
