Association of current smoking with airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asymptomatic smokers

Respiratory Research, 2005
Background Inflammation in the airways and lung parenchyma underlies fixed airway obstruction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The exact role of smoking as promoting factor of inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is not clear ...

Role of inflammatory cells in airway remodeling in COPD [PDF]

, 2018
COPD is characterized by chronic bronchitis, chronic airway obstruction, and emphysema, leading to a progressive and irreversible decline in lung function. Inflammation is central for the development of COPD.

Expression of ICAM-1 on human bronchial epithelial cells after influenza virus infection

Allergology International, 1996
Damage of bronchial epithelium is a feature of airway viral infection and airway inflammatory disease, such as bronchial asthma. Adhesion molecules, which are expressed on bronchial epithelium, play an important role in the pathogenesis of epithelial ...

Serum Vitamin D Level Is Unchanged in Equine Asthma

Animals
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with asthma development and severity of symptoms in humans, but whether the same occurs in horses is unknown. We aimed to determine whether the serum vitamin D levels differ in horses with asthma compared to control ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction in asthma: damage signals sustain airway inflammation and remodeling

Frontiers in Immunology
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway remodeling. Growing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction is not only a consequence of inflammatory injury but may also contribute to disease persistence
