[Remodeling in asthma: review of the literature].
Remodeling, understood as a new or different reconstruction, has been observed in every organ after a chronic inflammatory response. In allergy, it has very important clinical consequences. As an example, in asthma this process is responsible for functional deterioration. In this case, the myofibroblasts play a central role in the process, together with a succession of products that are involved. In this bibliographic review we analyze the most important factors.
