Airway hyperreactivity is a hallmark of asthma. Yet, the role of allergic sensitization in the hyperreactivity remains controversial. This study examined the effects of airborne cockroach allergen (CRa) sensitization on the contractility of bronchial (BSM) and tracheal (TSM) smooth muscle

We report on an observed regularity in the overall response of cell proteome under influence of different doses of a peroxisome proliferator. Our analysis for the first time demonstrates presence of hormesis at the cellular level. It is shown that

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), expressed in a variety of mesenchymal cells including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), is a potent mitogen for endothelial cells, and is used clinically applied for ischemic disease of peripheral vessels. To determine whether peroxisome

The aim of this work was to study the action of leukotrienes on the growth of human mammary cancer cells MCF-7. The growth of the cells was measured by incorporation of 3H-thymidine. The action of leukotriene (LT)B4, LTD4, LTC4, LTE4
We studied the effects of a selective antagonist of peptide leukotriene D4/E4 (LY-171883) and 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor diethylcarbamazine (DEC) in renal failure induced by a tourniquet, because peptide leukotrienes (LTs) were suggested to play a key role in our previous study.
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
