Human epididymis protein 4-annexin II binding promotes aberrant epithelial-fibroblast crosstalk in pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
Invasive lung myofibroblasts are the main cause of tissue remodeling in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). A key mechanism contributing to this important feature is aberrant crosstalk between the abnormal/injured lung epithelium and pulmonary ...

Is serum human epididymis protein 4 ready for prime time? [PDF]
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines have sparked hot debate regarding the role of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125) for ovarian cancer (OC) detection. Recent literature and evidence calls into question the use of CA-125 in diagnostic algorithms, given the better performance of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) vs.

HE4 level in ascites may assess the ovarian cancer chemotherapeutic effect
Background The clinical treatment of ovarian cancer with ascites is problematic. The main reasons for treatment failure are the susceptibility to intraperitoneal metastasis and chemotherapeutic drug resistance.
