Endogenous laminin is required for human airway smooth muscle cell maturation
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction underlies acute bronchospasm in asthma. ASM cells can switch between a synthetic-proliferative phenotype and a contractile phenotype. While the effects of extracellular matrix (ECM) components o...
