The epidermal growth factor receptor and its ligand family: their potential role in repair and remodelling in asthma.

abstract：:The care of patients with difficult-to-control asthma ("difficult asthma") is challenging and costly. Despite high-intensity asthma treatment, these patients experience poor asthma control and face the greatest risk of asthma morbidity and mortality. Poor asthma control is often driven by severe asthma biology, which ...
