Mucus and MUC in asthma.

Current opinion in pulmonary medicine - 1 Jan 2006

Morcillo Esteban J, Cortijo Julio

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Asthma is characterized by chronic airway inflammation and a mucus hypersecretory phenotype comprising excess mucus secretion, goblet cell hyperplasia and submucosal gland hypertrophy. This augmented mucus secretion has been relatively undervalued in asthma compared with airway...
