Inflammatory Mediators in the Airway
- Molecular classification
- Cytokine, Chemokine, Eicosanoid, Lipid Mediator, Reactive Oxygen Species, Nitric Oxide, Enzyme, Receptor Ligand
01
Overview
Inflammatory mediators in the airway are a diverse group of chemical substances, including cytokines, chemokines, eicosanoids, and reactive species, produced by various cells within the respiratory tract. These mediators regulate inflammatory processes and play critical roles in the pathogenesis of airway diseases like asthma and COPD, influencing immune cell recruitment, bronchoconstriction, mucus production, and tissue remodeling. Targeting specific mediators or their signaling pathways is a major therapeutic strategy.
