Female sex hormones mediate the allergic lung reaction by regulating the release of inflammatory mediators and the expression of lung E-selectin in rats
(2010-08-24)
Background: Fluctuations of estradiol and progesterone levels caused by the menstrual cycle worsen asthma symptoms. Conflicting data are reported in literature regarding pro and anti-inflammatory properties of estradiol ...
Effect of urbanisation on asthma, allergy and airways inflammation in a developing country setting
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2011)
Background: Asthma is a growing public health problem in developing countries. However, few studies have studied the role of urbanisation in this phenomenon. It was hypothesised that children living in a peri-urban setting ...

DNA nanoparticle-mediated thymulin gene therapy prevents airway remodeling in experimental allergic asthma
(Elsevier Science, 2013-04-28)
Thymulin has been shown to present anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties in experimental lung diseases. We hypothesized that a biologically active thymulin analog gene, methionine serum thymus factor, delivered ...
