Vitamin D Modulates Expression of the Airway Smooth Muscle Transcriptome in Fatal Asthma.
Globally, asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease affecting over 300 million people. Some asthma patients remain poorly controlled by conventional therapies and experience more life-threatening exacerbations. Vitamin D, as an adjunct therapy, may improve disease control in severe asthma...
