Reactiviteit van humane luchtwegen in vitro : modulatie door ontstekingscellen, mediatoren, en fysische prikkels.
One of the exciting challenges in asthma research is to clarify the mechanisms that make the airways of atopic asthmatics so remarkably responsive to a wide variety of stimuli. Clarification of these mechanisms is important because hyperresponsiveness of the airways may well be the abnormality that underlies asthma. A thorough understanding of these mechanisms might therefore facilitate the development of strategies to improve the treatment of atopic asthma. This thesis compiles the results of studies on the function of isolated human airways. The studies were aimed at elucidating the possible role of the airway muscle in bronchial hyperresponsiveness in asthma
