TY - BOOK ID - 129403841 TI - Platelets and Airway Remodeling : Mechanisms Involved in Platelet-Induced Fibroblast and Airway Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation in Vitro. PY - 2010 SN - 9173933244 PB - Linköping : Linkopings Universitet, DB - UniCat KW - Airways. KW - Blood platelets. KW - Cell proliferation. UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:129403841 AB - The book explores the mechanisms involved in platelet-induced fibroblast and airway smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro. It further discusses the importance of HA, FAK, eicosanoid, and ROS dependent signaling in these processes. The author aims to clarify the role of platelets in airway remodeling, a contributing factor to structural changes observed in asthma. The book presents research findings that platelets induce ASMC proliferation through NADPH-oxidase and 5-LOX dependent mechanisms. It is intended for scientists and researchers in the medical field, particularly those studying respiratory diseases and asthma. ER -
