Despite recent advances, asthma treatment remains inadequate for many patients, because the underlying pathology of asthma remains to be fully understood. It is my hypothesis that structural changes to the sensory and parasympathetic nervous systems contribute to airway hyperreactivity associated with asthma. 000009149 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009149 650__ $$aRespiratory System$$025366 000009149 650__ $$aAsthma$$015168 000009149 650__ $$aPulmonary Eosinophilia$$024906 000009149 650__ $$aGanglia$$019377 000009149 650__ $$aAnimals$$014770 000009149 650__ $$aEpithelium$$018551 000009149 650__ $$aNeurotransmitter Agents$$030754 000009149 650__ $$aMice$$036842 000009149 650__ $$aOptogenetics$$040039 000009149 650__ $$aAutonomic Pathways$$030237 000009149 650__ $$aHumans$$020376 000009149 650__ $$aEosinophils$$018511 000009149 650__ $$aParasympathetic Nervous System$$023593 000009149 650__ $$aBronchoconstriction$$028871 000009149 6531_ $$aanimal models 000009149 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009149 692__ $$aVollum Institute$$041509 000009149 7001_ $$aBowman Pincus, Alexandra 000009149 8564_ $$96963b80f-2b4d-4d00-8a34-ed4541e9093b$$s212119727$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9149/files/Pincus.Alexandra.2021.pdf 000009149 905__ $$a/rest/prod/h4/15/pb/19/h415pb19t 000009149 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9149$$pstudent-work 000009149 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
