Airway epithelial repair in health and disease: Orchestrator or simply a player?

This review attempts to highlight migration-specific and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) aspects of repair used by epithelial cells

Research

Differential gene network analysis for the identification of asthma-associated therapeutic targets in allergen-specific T-helper memory responses

Differential network analysis of allergen-induced CD4 T cell responses can unmask covert disease-associated genes and pin point novel therapeutic targets

Disruption of β-catenin/CBP signaling inhibits human airway epithelial-mesenchymal transition and repair.

The airway epithelium of both children and adults with asthma is relatively undifferentiated characterized by a significantly increased proportion of...

Chronic cat allergen exposure induces a Th2 cell-dependent IgG4 response related to low sensitization

This study evaluated the relationship between cat allergen–specific biomarkers in adults with cat allergy with and without cat ownership.

Environmental Factors in Children's Asthma and Respiratory Effects

Asthma is more common in childhood than in adulthood and is more correctly thought of as a syndrome than as a discrete condition.
