image: 3D nerve models show increased airway innervation and branching in biopsies from patients with persistent asthma (right) compared to patients with intermittent asthma or controls. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Sept. 5, 2018, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by M.G.
