responsible for obstruction, mucus hypersecretion, dyspnea, cough and other clinical
symptoms of lung disease. Understanding processes that regulate inflammation will

airways and lungs are densely innervated by autonomic and sensory nerves which might
regulate aspects of pulmonary inflammation. In this review we provide a critical appraisal of …
