Demedts I, Bracke K, Van Pottelberge G, Testelmans D, Verleden G, Vermassen F, et al.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med . 2007 Mar; 175(10):998-1005. PMID: 17332482
Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by chronic airway inflammation. It is unclear if dendritic cells (DC) participate in this inflammatory process. Objectives: To evaluate the presence of...

Bracke K, Dhulst A, Maes T, Moerloose K, Demedts I, Lebecque S, et al.
J Immunol . 2006 Sep; 177(7):4350-9. PMID: 16982869
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is mainly caused by cigarette smoking, and is characterized by an increase in inflammatory cells in the airways and pulmonary tissue. The chemokine receptor CCR6...

Maes T, Bracke K, Vermaelen K, Demedts I, Joos G, Pauwels R, et al.
Int Arch Allergy Immunol . 2006 Aug; 141(4):354-68. PMID: 16940747
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. We investigated whether Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is implicated...

Demedts I, Bracke K, Maes T, Joos G, Brusselle G
Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol . 2006 Apr; 35(3):387-93. PMID: 16627825
Dendritic cells (DC) have a central role in the initiation of adequate immune responses. They recognize pathogens by means of Toll-like receptors (TLR) and link innate to adaptive immune responses...

Demedts I, Demoor T, Bracke K, Joos G, Brusselle G
Respir Res . 2006 Mar; 7:53. PMID: 16571143
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by chronic inflammation of the airways and progressive destruction of lung parenchyma, a process that in most cases is initiated by cigarette smoking....

Dhulst A, Maes T, Bracke K, Demedts I, Tournoy K, Joos G, et al.
Respir Res . 2005 Dec; 6:147. PMID: 16359546
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is associated with a chronic inflammatory response of the host to chronic exposure to inhaled toxic gases and particles. Although inflammatory cells of both the...

Demedts I, Brusselle G, Bracke K, Vermaelen K, Pauwels R
Curr Opin Pharmacol . 2005 May; 5(3):257-63. PMID: 15907912
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are both highly prevalent, chronic inflammatory lung diseases that lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are extracellular matrix degrading enzymes...

Demedts I, Brusselle G, Vermaelen K, Pauwels R
Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol . 2004 Dec; 32(3):177-84. PMID: 15576669
Dendritic cells (DC) are specialized antigen-presenting cells, linking innate and adaptive immune responses, and thus play an important role in immunologically mediated diseases, including pulmonary diseases such as asthma and...
