Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular normalization in Rgs5-deficient tumours promotes immune destruction

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration, to the authors' knowledge, of reduced tumour angiogenesis and improved immune therapeutic outcome on loss of a vascular gene function and establishes a previously unrecognized role of G-protein signalling in tumourAngiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the epithelium on responsiveness of guinea-pig isolated trachea to contractile and relaxant agonists.

TL;DR: It was concluded that the reduced functional response of guinea‐pig trachea to isoprenaline was probably not due to smooth muscle β‐adrenoceptor dysfunction, and results indicate that the epithelium plays an important role in the modulation of responsiveness of Guinea‐ pig trachesa to histamine and relaxants that mediate their effects by selectively increasing intracellular cyclic AMP levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction between Burkholderia pseudomallei and Acanthamoeba species results in coiling phagocytosis, endamebic bacterial survival, and escape.

TL;DR: Demonstration of an interaction between B. pseudomallei and free-living acanthamebae in vitro raises the possibility that a similar interaction in vivo might affect environmental survival of the species and warrant further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelin-1-induced potentiation of human airway smooth muscle proliferation: an ETA receptor-mediated phenomenon.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that ET‐1, a mediator detected in increased amounts in patients with acute asthma, may potentiate the proliferative effects of mitogens and contribute to the airway smooth muscle hyperplasia associated with chronic severe asthma.
