A new approach for the study of lung smooth muscle phenotypes and its application in a murine model of allergic airway inflammation.

A new approach for the study of lung smooth muscle phenotypes and its application in a murine model of allergic airway inflammation.

Phenotypes of lung smooth muscle cells in health and disease are poorly characterized. This is due, in part, to a lack of methodologies that allow for the independent and direct isolation of bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from the lung.
