Long-term alterations in lung epithelial cells after EL-RSV infection exacerbate allergic responses through IL-1β-induced pathways

Abstract excerpt

Early-life (EL) respiratory infections increase pulmonary disease risk, especially EL-Respiratory Syncytial Virus (EL-RSV) infections linked to asthma. Mechanisms underlying asthma predisposition remain unknown. In this study, we examined the long-term effects on the lung after four weeks post EL-RSV infection. We identified alterations in the lung epithelial cell, with a rise in the percentage of alveolar type 2...
