IFITM1 is required for epithelial mesenchymal transition in airway remodeling of allergic asthma [PDF]
Background: Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1) restricts virus infection. IFITM proteins are involved in Th2 cell differentiation in allergic asthma. The epithelial‒mesenchymal transition (EMT) regulates allergic airway remodeling.

Drugs Used in the Treatment of Viral Infections for the Prevention of Airway Remodeling in Asthma [PDF]
One of the main causes of the exacerbation of chronic airway inflammatory diseases is respiratory virus infections. The most prevalent viruses that can infect humans multiple times a year are rhinovirus (RV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Because

Airway Remodeling and Airway Smooth Muscle in Asthma
Airway remodeling in asthma has been recognized as structural changes of airways such as smooth muscle hypertrophy (an increase in size of airway smooth muscle cells) and hyperplasia (an increase in the number of airway smooth muscle cells), thickening ...
