Accumulating Evidence for Increased Velocity of Airway Smooth Muscle Shortening in Asthmatic Airway Hyperresponsiveness

<table>Single lobe dissection of human lung. ASM mechanics from trachea to small bronchi (~1 mm diameter) from both healthy and asthmatic subjects may lead to more conclusive evidence of shortening velocity changes in asthma.</table>
