Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inhalation challenge is emerging as an experimental system for modeling environmental airway disease such as that seen in agricultural workers, and it can also serve as a model of environmental asthma. Mice exposed chronically to LPS develop all of the classical features of asthma including reversible airflow obstruction and inflammation, persistent airway hyperreactivity (AHR), and airway remodeling. Thickening and fibrosis of the subepithelial region of the airway wall is a consistent histologic feature of both environmental airway disease and of asthma that is directly related to the clinical severity of the disease. Lessons learned from such model systems may help to identify mechanisms that are fundamental to the development of chronic environmental airway disease and asthma.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
