Allergic sensitization to common airborne allergens among adults in Estonia.

abstract：:Eosinophils may play an important role in the pathogenesis of airway remodeling in asthma through the production of various fibrogenic cytokines such as transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1). Cysteinyl leukotrienes are also suggested to be involved in remodeling with their potential to induce proliferation of a...
