Do Biophysical Properties of the Airway Smooth Muscle in Culture Predict Airway Hyperresponsiveness?

Airway hyperresponsiveness is a cardinal feature of asthma but remains largely unexplained. In asthma, the key end-effector of acute airway narrowing is the airway smooth muscle (ASM) cell. Here we report novel biophysical properties of the ASM cell isolated from the relatively hyporesponsive Lewis...
