Abstract BACKGROUND Asthma is characterized by airway obstruction driven by chronic inflammation, leading to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. This involves ECM alterations, including increased collagen deposition and elastolysis, resulting in airway wall thickening and irreversible airflow limitation. Despite ECM remodeling’s known role in asthma, no reliable tools track these changes, and the genetic and environmental […]
