In vivo imaging of the airway wall in asthma: fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy in relation to histology and lung function |
| Disease Area: | Asthma |
| Type: | See notes |
| Application: | Diagnosis of disease |
| Biological Endpoints: | Imaging |
| Throughput: | Medium / Low (Lab scale) |
| Potential: | Unknown |
| Notes: |
FCFM captures the elastic fibre pattern within the airway wall in humans in vivo. The association between post-bronchodilator FEV(1) %predicted and both histological and FCFM elastic fibre patterns points towards a structure-function relationship between extracellular matrix in the airway wall and lung function. Cross-sectional study . |
