Neurally mediated airway constriction in human and other species: a comparative study using precision-cut lung slices (PCLS). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The peripheral airway innervation of the lower respiratory tract of mammals is not completely functionally characterized. Recently, we have shown in rats that precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) respond to electric field stimulation (EFS) and provide a ...

Field‐applicable low‐intensity exercise induces bronchodilation in horses with severe asthma

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Airway dysfunction in severe equine asthma (SEA) often results in early retirement or euthanasia of affected horses. Exercise‐induced bronchodilation occurs in horses with SEA after intense treadmill exercise, but the effects of a lighter, field‐applicable, training regimen remain largely unexplored.
