Consistent with findings by Wang et al. (Reese et al., 2019), our results demonstrated that heightened expression of FGFR1 significantly enhanced cell proliferation and upregulated NF-ĸB transcription, providing novel insights into the association between FGFR1 expression and asthma (Bae et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene FGFR1 and asthma.
