- Title
Airway Smooth Muscle and Asthma.
- Authors
An, Steven; Tang, Dale D.
- Abstract
In this Special Issue, Wang et al. revisit an original purification method for myosin and detail a new approach that yields purified myosin, complexed with or without its associated regulatory proteins, including myosin light-chain kinase and myosin light-chain phosphatase. Airway smooth muscle (ASM) was first described in 1804 by Franz Daniel Reisseisen (as related by Otis (1983)) [[1]], and the " I irritability i " of ASM and its potential contribution to asthma was considered by Henry Hyde Salter in 1868 [[2]]. Palacionyte et al. describe that IL-5 and GM-CSF significantly enhance the proliferative effects of inflammatory-like and lung-resident-like eosinophils cells on ASM cells derived from patients with severe non-allergic eosinophilic asthma and individuals with non-severe allergic asthma.
