model of allergic asthma.
Not exact matches
Here, we show that in germ - free (GF) mice, invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells accumulate in the colonic lamina propria and lung, resulting in increased morbidity in
models of IBD and
allergic asthma as compared with that
of specific pathogen - free mice.
Lead researchers Associate Professor Chrishan Samuel and Dr Simon Royce tested the efficacy
of the MSCs on three key components
of asthma in a preclinical
model of chronic
allergic airways disease: inflammation; airway remodeling (structural changes that occur in lungs as a result
of prolonged inflammation); and airway hyperresponsiveness (the clinical symptom
of asthma).
RIPK2 gene silencing in the airways decreased
allergic airway inflammation in an ovalbumin - mediated mouse
model of asthma (Jun et al., 2013).
