Allergen exposure may precipitate acute bronchoconstriction and increase bronchial reactivity. We have investigated whether passive sensitisation of human airway per se or short-term exposure to mediators released by specific antigen exposure produces an alteration in in vitro smooth muscle sensitiv
Smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype can be altered by physical forces as demonstrated by cyclic strain-induced changes in proliferation, orientation, and secretion of macromolecules. However, the magnitude of strain required and the intracellular coupling pathways remain ill defined. To examine the s
