Ovarian Hormones and Obesity Drive Th17-mediated Airway Inflammation through Estrogen Receptor Signaling

Emely Henriquez Pilier, Jacqueline-Yvonne Cephus, Shelby N Kuehnle, Elie Tannous, Alessandra Tomasello, Kaitlin E. McKernan, Ray Stokes Peebles, Katherine N. Cahill, Jeffrey C. Rathmell, Dawn C. Newcomb
