    A GABAergic system in airway epithelium is essential for mucus overproduction in asthma

    γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important neurotransmitter that, through the subtype A GABA receptor (GABAAR), induces inhibition in the adult brain. Here we show that an excitatory, rather than inhibitory, GABA...
