Syndecan-2 is a novel target of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 and is over-expressed in fibrosis [PDF]
, 2012 Extracellular matrix deposition and tissue scarring characterize the process of fibrosis. Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of fibrosis in various ...

Numerical Simulation of Particle Motions in Cascade Impactor and Human Respiratory System [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 Dry powder inhalations (DPIs) have gathered attention as a treatment for respiratory diseases due to the large effective absorption area in a human lung. A cascade impactor is generally used to investigate the inhalation performance of DPIs.

Spatial and temporal changes in extracellular elastin and laminin distribution during lung alveolar development [PDF]
, 2018 Lung alveolarization requires precise coordination of cell growth with extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and deposition. The role of extracellular matrices in alveogenesis is not fully understood, because prior knowledge is largely extrapolated from ...

Not All Antibodies Are Created Equal: Factors That Influence Antibody Mediated Rejection. [PDF]
, 2017 Consistent with Dr. Paul Terasaki's "humoral theory of rejection" numerous studies have shown that HLA antibodies can cause acute and chronic antibody mediated rejection (AMR) and decreased graft survival. New evidence also supports a role for antibodies

Non-linear relationship of cell hit and transformation probabilities in a low dose of inhaled radon progenies [PDF]
, 2009 Cellular hit probabilities of alpha particles emitted by inhaled radon progenies in sensitive bronchial epithelial cell nuclei were simulated at low exposure levels to obtain useful data for the rejection or support of the linear-non-threshold (LNT ...
