  1. 1. Platelets and airway remodeling : Mechanisms involved in platelet-induced fibroblast and airway smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro

    Författare :Ann-Charlotte B. Svensson Holm; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Eva Lindström; Mikael Adner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Airway remodeling is a contributing cause to the pathological structural changes, such as increased cell proliferation, observed in asthma. Platelets have been found in autopsy lungmaterial obtained from asthmatic patients and are well known to induce proliferation in vitro of a variety of cells. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Tissue tropism among group A streptococci - importance of bacteria associated proteolytic activity
