Abstract excerpt
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) hypertrophy and hyperplasia, important pathological features in chronic severe asthma, likely contribute to irreversible airflow obstruction. Despite considerable research effort, the precise cellular mechanisms that modulate ASM growth remain unknown. Src, a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase proto-oncogene, reportedly modulates cell proliferative responses to growth factors, contractile...
