It's my favourite cell that affects your asthma

Symposium
Chairs: G. Brusselle (Ghent, Belgium), P. Hiemstra (Leiden, Netherlands)
Aims: to provide an overview of how mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, innate lymphoid cells and airway epithelial cells contribute to the clinical manifestations of asthma. The possible mechanisms by which these cells affect smooth muscle function and bronchial hyper-responsiveness will be discussed along with the therapeutic implications of these novel insights.
