Behavioral inhibition in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) is related to the airways response, but not immune measures, commonly associated with asthma.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Behavioral inhibition reflects a disposition to react warily to novel situations, and has been associated with atopic diseases such as asthma. Retrospective work established the relationship between behavioral inhibition in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Small Interfering RNA Targeting Nerve Growth Factor Alleviates Allergic Airway Hyperresponsiveness

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014
Airway hyperresponsiveness is the hallmark of allergic asthma and caused by multiple factors. Nerve growth factor (NGF), a neurotrophin, is originally known for regulation of neural circuit development and function.

Bronchial thermoplasty : a new therapeutic option for the treatment of severe, uncontrolled asthma in adults [PDF]

, 2014
Bronchial thermoplasty is a young yet promising treatment for severe asthma whose benefit for long-term asthma control outweighs the short-term risk of deterioration and hospitalisation in the days following the treatment.

Anti-S100A4 antibody administration alleviates bronchial epithelial–mesenchymal transition in asthmatic mice

Open Medicine, 2023
We elucidated the effect of S100A4 on airway remodeling by regulating airway inflammation and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in mouse models of asthma. Asthmatic mouse models were established by sensitization and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA).

Differences in susceptibility to German cockroach frass and its associated proteases in induced allergic inflammation in mice

Respiratory Research, 2007
Background Cockroach exposure is a major risk factor for the development of asthma. Inhalation of fecal remnants (frass) is the likely sensitizing agent; however isolated frass has not been tested for its ability to induce experimental asthma in mice ...

Mechanisms altering airway smooth muscle cell Ca(2+) homeostasis in two asthma models [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Asthma is characterized by airway remodeling, altered mucus production and airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) contraction causing extensive airway narrowing. In particular, alterations of ASMC contractility seem to be of crucial importance. The

Evaluation of coagulation activation after Rhinovirus infection in patients with asthma and healthy control subjects: an observational study [PDF]

, 2014
Background Asthma exacerbations are frequently triggered by rhinovirus infections. Both asthma and respiratory tract infection can activate haemostasis. Therefore we hypothesized that experimental rhinovirus-16 infection and asthmatic airway inflammation

Role of nitric oxide in airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in bronchial asthma

Allergology International, 1999
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced within the airways and has a variety of actions on the airway function. Nitric oxide is a potent bronchodilator, and NO released from airway epithelial cells and inhibitory nonadrenergic non-cholinergic nerve terminals may ...

Differential effects of allergen challenge on large and small airway reactivity in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The relative contributions of large and small airways to hyperresponsiveness in asthma have yet to be fully assessed. This study used a mouse model of chronic allergic airways disease to induce inflammation and remodelling and determine whether in vivo ...
