23 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Atopic asthma is a chronic lung disease of lower airways caused mainly due to action of T-helper (Th) 2 type cytokines, eosinophilic inflammation, mucus hypersecretion and airway remodelling. Interleukin (IL)-33 increases type 2 immunity polarization in airway playing critical role in eosinophilic asthma. On the other hand, NLRP3 inflammasome activation results in the release of caspase-1 (Casp-1) which, in its...
