Olfaction Now and in the Future in CRSwNP

CONCLUSION: Olfactory dysfunction is highly prevalent in the CRSwNP population. Although significant advances have been made in our understanding of olfactory dysfunction in the setting of CRS, additional studies are needed to elucidate cellular and molecular changes mediated by type 2-mediated inflammation in the olfactory epithelium with potential downstream effects on the central olfactory system. Further identification of these underlying basic mechanisms will be vital for developing future therapies targeted to improve olfactory dysfunction in patients with CRSwNP.PMID:36848279 | DOI:10.1177/19458924231153485
