CIGARETTE SMOKE ALTERS TISSUE INHIBITOR OF METALLOPROTEINASE 1 AND MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE 9 LEVELS IN THE BASOLATERAL SECRETIONS OF HUMAN ASTHMATIC BRONCHIAL EPITHELIUM IN VITRO.

Background: Asthma, a major cause of chronic lung disease worldwide, has increased in prevalence in all age and ethnic groups, particularly in urban areas where cigarette smoking is common. Cigarette smoke (CS) significantly impacts the development of asthma and is... Read More

TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR ALPHA (TNFα) INDUCTION OF THYMUS AND ACTIVATION REGULATED CHEMOKINE (TARC) EXPRESSION IS MEDIATED BY 15-LIPOXYGENASE 15-(LOX)-2 IN THE EPIAIRWAY™ HUMAN TRACHEAL/BRONCHIAL EPITHELIAL MODEL.

RATIONALE: T-Helper 2-type (TH2) T cells play a predominant role in human airway inflammation and asthma. TARC, a specific chemoattractant for TH2 cells, is induced by TNFα treatment of human airway cells, however, the cellular pathways involved in mediating TARC... Read More

TH2 CYTOKINE STIMULATED AIRWAY EPITHELIAL CELLS DEMONSTRATE GRANULE-DEPENDENT FasL LOCALIZATION.

This study by researchers at St. Paul’s Hospital / University of British Columbia demonstrated how MatTek’s EpiAirway human airway tissue equivalent can be used to investigate if the localization and presentation of an airway epithelial cell constituent, Fas Ligand (FasL),... Read More

HISTAMINE MAY INDUCE AIRWAY REMODELING THROUGH RELEASE OF EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR LIGANDS FROM BRONCHIAL EPITHELIAL CELLS

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that is associated with airway remodeling, including hyperplasia of airway epithelial cells and airway smooth muscle cells, and goblet cell differentiation. We wished to address the potential role of histamine, a key biogenic amine... Read More

CATIONIC POLYPEPTIDES ARE REQUIRED FOR ANTI-HIV-1-ACTIVITY OF HUMAN VAGINAL FLUID.

This study by researchers at the University of Central Florida Biomolecular Science Center demonstrated that MatTek’s EpiVaginal human cervico-vaginal tissue equivalent is an excellent in vitro model for investigating HIV-1 infection via the mucosal surfaces of the vagina, as well... Read More
