Epithelial cell dysfunction, a major driver of asthma development (2020)
Journal Article
Heijink, I. H., Kuchibhotla, V. N. S., Roffel, M. P., Maes, T., Knight, D. A., Sayers, I., & Nawijn, M. C. (2020). Epithelial cell dysfunction, a major driver of asthma development. Allergy, 75(8), 1902-1917. https://doi.org/10.1111/all.14421

Airway epithelial barrier dysfunction is frequently observed in asthma and may have important implications. The physical barrier function of the airway epithelium is tightly interwoven with its immunomodulatory actions, while abnormal epithelial repa...
