- Inhibiting BTK can reduce histamine release, alleviating CSU symptoms.
Panelists discuss how Bruton tyrosine kinase’s (BTK) role in mediating mast cell degranulation makes it an ideal target for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) treatment, as inhibiting BTK could effectively reduce histamine release and its associated symptoms.
