Effect of TGF-β1 on eosinophils to induce cysteinyl leukotriene E4 production in aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease.

Cysteinyl leukotriene (cysLT) overproduction and eosinophil activation are hallmarks of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). However, pathogenic mechanisms of AERD remain to be clarified. Here, we aimed to find the significance of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) in association...
