Airway reactivity and sphingolipids—implications for childhood asthma
1 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
Asthma is a clinically heterogeneous disorder, whose onset and progression results from a complex interplay between genetic susceptibility, allergens, and viral triggers. Sphingolipids and altered sphingolipid metabolism have emerged as potential key contributors to the pathogenesis of asthma.
