Olfactory loss in chronic rhinosinusitis is associated with neuronal activation of c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Olfactory inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is associated with cytokines that may result in the death of olfactory sensory neurons. The principal signaling molecules involved in the apoptotic pathway are c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK). Although the JNK pathway has emerged as a key player in programmed cell death in neuroinflammation, its specific role in CRS-associated olfactory loss has...
