The role of adenosine A2A receptor signaling in bronchiolitis obliterans.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Binding of adenosine to the anti-inflammatory Gs-coupled adenosine 2A receptor (A(2A)R) inhibits the activity of most inflammatory cells. Extensive preclinical evidence exists for the use of A(2A)R agonists in the prevention of acute ... Read more...

Suppression of the obliteration process by ventilation in a mouse orthotopic tracheal transplantation model.

25 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Obliterative airway disease (OAD) has been a major obstacle to long-term survival after lung or tracheal transplantations, but the role of airflow has not been examined in the orthotopic or the heterotopic tracheal transplantation ... Read more...

The role of intrapulmonary de novo lymphoid tissue in obliterative bronchiolitis after lung transplantation.

30 May 2009 Chronic rejection after lung transplantation is manifested as obliterative bronchiolitis (OB). The development of de novo lymphoid tissue (lymphoid neogenesis) may contribute to local immune responses in small airways. Compared with normal lungs, ... Read more...
