The role of inflammation resolution speed in airway smooth muscle mass accumulation in asthma: insight from a theoretical model.

The role of inflammation resolution speed in airway smooth muscle mass accumulation in asthma: insight from a theoretical model.

Despite a large amount of in vitro data, the dynamics of airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass increase in the airways of patients with asthma is not well understood. Here, we present a novel mathematical model that describes qualitatively the growth dynamics of ASM cells over short and long terms in the...
