The antimicrobial protein short palate, lung, and nasal epithelium clone 1 (SPLUNC1) is differentially modulated in eosinophilic and noneosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

Differential SPLUNC1 suppression between the eosinophilic and noneosinophilic CRSwNP subsets suggests that they possess distinct pathogenic mechanisms. This finding might benefit the design of appropriate therapeutic interventions targeted to each subset.
