Are Mouse Models of Asthma Appropriate for Investigating the Pathogenesis of Airway Hyper-Responsiveness?
Whether mouse models of chronic asthma can be used to investigate the relationship between airway inflammation/remodelling and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) is a vexed question. It raises issues about the extent to which such models replicate key features of the human disease. Here, we review so...
