IMPORTANCE AND INTERACTION OF ALLERGY, INFECTIONS AND RESPIRATORY ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES IN CHRONIC LOWER & UPPER AIRWAY DISEASES (AIREWAY II consortium) Ghent University
AIREWAY II, we will further unravel the mechanisms by which allergens, environmental pollutants and microbial agents initiate lower and upper airway diseases and modulate disease persistence. We hypothesize that the following mechanisms -modulated by environmental triggers- play a crucial role in the development of airway diseases: Transient Receptor Potential (TRP)-channels, damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), Pattern Recognition ...
Importance and interaction of allergy, infections and respiratory environmental exposures in chronic lower & upper airway diseases Ghent University
The acronym AIReWAY describes the global objective of this project. With this interuniversity approach, we want to unravel cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the upper (rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyposis) and lower airway diseases (asthma and COPD). The individual and combined effects of allergens. infections and air pollution on the main cellular and molecular mediators, will be characterized at different phases typing the ...

Importance and interaction of allergy, infections and respiratory environmental exposures in chronic lower & upper airway diseases (AIReWAY II consortium) Ghent University
The acronym AIREWAY II (Importance and interaction of Allergy, Infections and Respiratory Environmental exposures in the development and chronicity of lower and upper airWAY diseases) describes the global objective of this project, and builds further on our P6/35 AIREWAY project that was initiated in 2007. With this interuniversity collaboration, we will further unravel the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying lower (asthma and COPD) ...
