IL-37 protects against airway remodeling by reversing bronchial epithelial–mesenchymal transition via IL-24 signaling pathway in chronic asthma

Abstract Background Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one of the mechanisms of airway remodeling in chronic asthma. Interleukin (IL)-24 has been implicated in the promotion of tissue fibrosis, and increased IL-24 levels have been observed in the nasal secretions and sputum of asthmatic pati...
