Identification of the cystic fibrosis gene: Cloning and characterization of complementary DNA

Science, 1989
Overlapping complementary DNA clones were isolated from epithelial cell libraries with a genomic DNA segment containing a portion of the putative cystic fibrosis (CF) locus, which is on chromosome 7.

Renal fibrosis

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2003
Renal fibrosis causes significant morbidity and mortality as the primary acquired lesion leading to the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation. Fibrosis can occur in either the filtering or reabsorptive component of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2012
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare syndrome hallmarked by a fibrosclerotic tissue in the retroperitoneum, often leading to encasement of the ureters. About two-thirds of cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis are idiopathic, while the remaining cases are secondary to a variety of different causes, including drugs, tumors and infections.

The Immunology of Fibrosis

Annual Review of Immunology, 2013
Fibrosis is the production of excessive amounts of connective tissue, i.e., scar formation, in the course of reactive and reparative processes. Fibrosis develops as a consequence of various underlying diseases and presents a major diagnostically and therapeutically unsolved problem.

Cystic fibrosis

2010
Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessively inherited disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis gene, located on the long arm of chromosome 7, which codes for a membrane protein—the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein—that is a chloride channel.

Liver fibrosis

Springer Seminars in Immunopathology, 1999
Knowledge on the development and progression of liver fibrosis has grown exponentially in the past decade. At present, liver fibrogenesis is referred to as a dynamic process involving complex cellular and molecular mechanisms, resulting from the chronic activation of the tissue repair mechanisms that follows reiterated liver tissue injury.

The pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis: Is there a fibrosis gene?

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1997
Interstitial fibrosis is seen in the lung in response to a variety of insults, and often appears stereotypical in terms of its clinical and pathological features. However, exposure to a known aetiological factor does not always lead to fibrosis. For example in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, a wide variation in response is seen both in humans and

Retroperitoneal fibrosis

Urologic Radiology, 1990
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is idiopathic in two thirds of cases and is found most commonly as an isolated fibrotic plaque centered over the lower lumbar spine and entrapping one or both ureters. It has been postulated that the fibrosis in the idiopathic cases results from a hypersensitivity reaction to antigens leaking into the retroperitoneum from ...

Cystic Fibrosis

Pathology Patterns Reviews, 2003
On a daily basis, pathologists examine the fundamental basis of human diseases using morphologic, immunologic, and molecular techniques. Cystic fibrosis (CF), as a clinically heterogeneous disease, exemplifies the complex challenges of genetic diseases for the pathologist who attempts to explain the mechanisms of disease and provide rationale for ...

Fibrosis and angiogenesis

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2000
Research during the past few years has contributed vastly to a better understanding of fibrosis and angiogenesis. Although studies to understand the molecular processes associated with fibrosis and angiogenesis were performed independently of each other, some common parallels have emerged.
