Healing of extraction sockets in collagenase-2 (matrix metalloproteinase-8)-deficient mice.

30 May 2009 Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) participates in skin wound healing and inflammation. We hypothesized that MMP-8 plays a role in wound healing after tooth extraction and in periapical inflammation. Bone formation, collagen metabolism, and ... Read more...

Prone position prevents regional alveolar hyperinflation and mechanical stress and strain in mild experimental acute lung injury.

12 Apr 2009 Prone position may delay the development of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), but the mechanisms require better elucidation. In experimental mild acute lung injury (ALI), arterial oxygen partial pressure (Pa O2), lung mechanics and histology, ... Read more...

Allergic airway inflammation initiates long-term vascular remodeling of the pulmonary circulation.

10 Feb 2009 BACKGROUND: Asthma and allergic airway inflammation are associated with persistent structural alterations in the bronchi, i.e. airway remodeling. Previous studies have shown that during allergic airway inflammation, similar structural alterations ... Read more...
