Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: RELM-β has been implicated in airways inflammation and remodelling in murine models. Its possible functions in human airways are largely unknown. The aim was to address the hypothesis that RELM-β plays a role in extracellular matrix deposition in asthmatic airways. METHODS: The effects of RELM-β gene deficiency were studied in a model of allergen exposure in mice sensitised and challenged with...
