Funded Activity Summary

The uneven way that airways narrow (heterogeneity) would seem to be an important factor affecting the natural history, clinical expression and response to treatment in patients with severe asthma. In this study we will be looking at the mechanism for heterogeneity in sufferers of severe asthma in relation to how stiff the lung is and the type of inflammation seen in these patients.
