Abstract excerpt
Asthma arises from complex interactions between genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure, yet the molecular pathways linking these processes remain incompletely understood. Recent human genetic studies have implicated CD36, a multifunctional class B scavenger receptor, in asthma risk, renewing interest in its immunological functions beyond lipid transport. Accumulating evidence suggests that CD36...
