The effect of decorin and biglycan on human airway smooth muscle cell proliferation, apoptosis and attachment
Changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition along with increases in airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass are characteristic features of airway remodeling which contribute to asthma pathophysiology. Modifications in ECM include increased collagen deposition and altered proteoglycans (PGs) levels. W...
