Role of IL-5R Signaling in Non-eosinophil Upper Airway Cells in CRSwNP

Description

The overarching hypothesis of this proposal is that IL-5 acts on multiple sinus tissue cell types, including plasma cells and epithelial cells, to promote immune dysregulation, and that inhibition of IL-5 affects several relevant effector pathways that lead to clinical benefit.

Conditions

Nasal Polyps, Aspirin-exacerbated Respiratory Disease
