Abstract
Histological examination of biopsy or postmortem lung tissue from patients with asthma usually reveals thickened airway walls. This change is called airway remodeling, which is characterized by airway eosinophilia, hyperplasia of goblet cells and smooth muscle, and subepithelial fibrosis [1,2]. In this study, we investigated the time-course functional, morphological, biochemical changes of remodeling in a ovalbumin (OVA)-induced murine chronic asthma model. (omitted)
