Vanadium pentoxide induces pulmonary inflammation and tumor promotion in a strain-dependent manner
(East Carolina University, 2010-04-12)
Background: Elevated levels of air pollution are associated with increased risk of lung cancer. Particulate matter (PM)
contains transition metals that may potentiate neoplastic development through the induction of oxidative ...
Circadian activation of mast cells mediates the nocturnal response in allergic asthma
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Circadian rhythm is a conserved physiological feature of most organisms. Nocturnal symptoms are a common feature of allergic asthma in humans. Patients with nocturnal asthma show circadian variation of their pulmonary ...
Vanadium pentoxide induces pulmonary inflammation and tumor promotion in a strain-dependent manner
(2010)
Background
Elevated levels of air pollution are associated with increased risk of lung cancer. Particulate matter (PM) contains transition metals that may potentiate neoplastic development through the induction of ...
Tissue Salvage in the Non-reperfused Myocardium Mediated by (the absence of the circadian rhythm gene) mPer2 and (the receptor tyrosine kinase) EphrinA1
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Alterations in circadian rhythm have been associated with numerous cardiovascular pathologies. In project 1, we tested the hypothesis that functional mutation of the Per2 circadian clock gene would provide cardioprotection ...
Nocturnal thoracoabdominal asynchrony in house dust mite-sensitive nonhuman primates
(2010)
Nocturnal bronchoconstriction is a common symptom of asthma in humans, but is poorly documented in animal models. Thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA) is a noninvasive clinical indication of airway obstruction. In this study, ...
