What have transgenic and knockout animals taught us about respiratory disease? [PDF]
Over the past decade there has been a significant shift to the use of murine models for investigations into the molecular basis of respiratory diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-13 modulate responsiveness of human airway smooth muscle cells to IL-13 [PDF]
Background: IL-13 is a critical mediator of allergic asthma and associated airway hyperresponsiveness. IL-13 acts through a receptor complex comprised of IL-13Rα1 and IL-4Rα subunits with subsequent activation of signal transducer and activator of ...

Involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinases in mast cell mediator induced airway hyper-responsiveness in guinea pig trachea [PDF]
Introduction: Exposure to allergens causes activation of mast cells and release of its mediators leading to airway constriction. Airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) is a major characteristic of asthma but understanding of its causes is incomplete. Theories

Diagnostic work-up in patients with possible asthma referred to a university hospital [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The best strategy for diagnosing asthma remains unclear. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic strategies in individuals with possible asthma referred to a respiratory outpatient clinic at a university hospital. METHODS:
