Does allergen induce the migration of platelets to lung tissue in allergic asthma?
Platelets migrate extravascularly in response to a sensitizing allergen via a mechanism dependent on the interaction among allergen, allergen-specific IgE, and the FcepsilonRI, and this may allow them to participate directly in allergic tissue inflammation.
Students taught on a traditional course have a higher level of anatomical knowledge than those taught on an integrated course. Our results differ from previous studies done in Europe which show no difference between the courses.
