Roles of epithelial cell-derived periostin in TGF-β activation, collagen production, and collagen gel elasticity in asthma
Sukhvinder Sidhu,Shaopeng Yuan,Anh L. Innes,Sheena C. Kerr,Prescott G. Woodruff,Lydia Hou,Susan J. Muller,John V. Fahy +7 more
TL;DR: Epithelial cell-derived periostin in asthma has roles in TGF-β activation and collagen gel elasticity in asthma and alters collagen fibrillogenesis or cross-linking and leads to stiffening of the matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
An interlaboratory comparison of measurements from filament-stretching rheometers using common test fluids
Shelley L. Anna,Gareth H. McKinley,Duc At Nguyen,Tamarapu Sridhar,Susan J. Muller,Jin Huang,David F. James +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a filament-stretching extensional rheometer at Monash University and similar rheometers have been designed and built in other laboratories are compared to help validate the basic technique, a collaborative program was undertaken to compare results from several instruments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wettability of silicone-hydrogel contact lenses in the presence of tear-film components
TL;DR: The captive-bubble technique provides contact angles that are relevant to on-eye lens wear and minimizes or even eliminates protein adsorption in both advancing and receding contact angles, which are important to lens wettability performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfluidic four-roll mill for all flow types
TL;DR: In this paper, a microfluidic four-roll mill device that can cover the entire spectrum of flow types including purely rotational flow was designed using pseudo-three-dimensional simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ex Vivo Sputum Analysis Reveals Impairment of Protease-dependent Mucus Degradation by Plasma Proteins in Acute Asthma
Anh L. Innes,Stephen D. Carrington,David J. Thornton,Sara Kirkham,Karine Rousseau,Ryan H. Dougherty,Wilfred W. Raymond,George H. Caughey,Susan J. Muller,John V. Fahy +9 more
TL;DR: In airway mucus collected from patients with asthma at various time points during acute asthma exacerbation, protease-driven mucus degradation was inhibited at the height of exacerbation but was restored during recovery, identifying a novel mechanism whereby plasma exudation may impair airways mucus clearance.
