What can we learn about chronic rhinosinusitis through mucus?
Mucus biomarkers are transforming our understanding of CRS by linking local immune dysfunction with clinical manifestations, such as quality-of-life impairment, olfactory loss, and disease recurrence. With continued refinement, integration of mucus biomarker profiling with machine learning and clinical datasets may enable precision diagnostics and personalized treatment strategies for CRS.
