EGF-induced bronchial epithelial cells drive neutrophil chemotactic and anti-apoptotic activity in asthma
Chronic damage and repair of the bronchial epithelium are features of asthma. We have previously reported that ex vivo stimulation of normal bronchial epithelial cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF), a key factor of epithelial repair, enhances the mechanisms of neutrophil accumulation, thereby p...
