Interactions between fibroblast growth factor 2 and distinct asthma mediators enhance bronchial smooth muscle cell proliferation
Increased bulk of smooth muscle mass around the airways is a typical feature of asthma. Several mediators act in concert or antagonistically to regulate airway smooth muscle (ASM) cell proliferation. This thesis focuses on fibroblast growth factor (FGF)2 and transforming growth factor (TGF)[béta]1 w...
