Funded Activity Summary

Asthma is associated with excessive airway narrowing, increased thickness of the airway wall and inflammation, most typically with eosinophils. However, 50% of cases have few eosinophils and respond less well to current treatments. This project will examine differences in airway structure between patients with or without eosinophils, using post-mortem tissue, as part of an international research collaboration.
