Journal ArticleDOI
Histamine H3-receptors inhibit neurogenic microvascular leakage in airways
TL;DR: It is concluded that H3-agonists inhibit neurogenic leakage by prejunctional inhibition of neuropeptide release from airway sensory nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI
The heterotopic tracheal allograft as an animal model of obliterative bronchiolitis
TL;DR: Theeterotopic tracheal allografts in small rodents provide a less technically demanding alternative to whole lung transplantation in small rats and should lead to a speedier identification of new treatments that might prevent the development of post-transplantation OB in the clinic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of the TRPV4 ion channel as a therapeutic target for disease
Megan S. Grace,Megan S. Grace,Megan S. Grace,Sara J. Bonvini,Maria G. Belvisi,Peter McIntyre +5 more
TL;DR: The known roles of TRPV4 in disease are discussed, the possible implications of targeting this important cation channel for therapy are highlighted, and several synthetic pharmacological compounds that selectively target this ion channel are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Glucocorticosteroids with an Improved Therapeutic Ratio
TL;DR: Dissociated corticosteroids are ligands for the glucocorticoid receptor that may offer the potential for a more selective antiinflammatory profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the Inflammasome-Caspase1/11-IL-1/18 Axis in Cigarette Smoke Driven Airway Inflammation: An Insight into the Pathogenesis of COPD
Suffwan Eltom,Maria G. Belvisi,Christopher S. Stevenson,Sarah A. Maher,Eric Dubuis,Katherine A. Fitzgerald,Mark A. Birrell +6 more
TL;DR: A key role is indicated for the P2X7-NALP3/ASC-caspase1/11-IL-1β/IL-18 axis in CS induced airway inflammation, highlighting this pathway as a possible therapeutic target for the treatment of COPD.
