Journal Article

The effect of rolipram, a type IV phosphodiesterase inhibitor, on Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of respiratory mucosa.

TL;DR: Rolipram is more effective than salmeterol in preventing P. aeruginosa-induced epithelial damage and agents that elevate intracellular cAMP protect the epithelium during bacterial infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alpha 1 adrenergic receptor function in senescent Fischer 344 rat aorta.

TL;DR: Results suggest that aortic alpha 1 receptor-mediated formation of inositol phosphate intracellular second messengers is enhanced during aging, despite this, the capacity of senescent arteries to elicit contraction utilizing second messenger pathways seems to be deficient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delivering Therapeutics to Glioblastoma: Overcoming Biological Constraints

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of tumor invasion, the molecular and cellular heterogeneity of the tumor, and the blood-brain barrier on the delivery and distribution of drugs using potential therapeutic delivery options such as convection-enhanced delivery, controlled release systems, nanomaterial systems, peptide-based systems, and focused ultrasound.
