Respir Res
. 2024 Oct;
25(1):387.
PMID: 39468619
Background: In asthma, sex-steroids signaling is recognized as a critical regulator of disease pathophysiology. However, the paradoxical role of sex-steroids, especially estrogen, suggests that an upstream mechanism or even independent...

Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol
. 2024 Mar;
70(6):507-518.
PMID: 38512807
Airway remodeling is a cardinal feature of asthma, associated with increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) cell mass and upregulation of extracellular matrix deposition. Exaggerated ASM cell migration contributes to excessive...

Mol Cell Endocrinol
. 2023 Oct;

PMID: 37827228
Sex-steroid signaling, especially estrogen, has a paradoxical impact on regulating airway remodeling. In our previous studies, we demonstrated differential effects of 17β-estradiol (E) towards estrogen receptors (ERs: α and β)...

. 2023 May;
260(3):339-352.
PMID: 37171283
Asthma is a multifactorial disease of origin characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and airway remodeling. Several pieces of evidence from other pathologies suggest that Kisspeptins (Kp) regulate cell proliferation, migration,...

. 2021 Jul;
11(1):14386.
PMID: 34257337
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) is known for its role in asthma exacerbations characterized by acute bronchoconstriction and remodeling. The molecular mechanisms underlying multiple gene interactions regulating gene expression in asthma...

PMID: 33719566
Epidemiological studies demonstrate an apparent sex-based difference in the prevalence of asthma, with a higher risk in boys than girls, which is reversed postpuberty, where women become more prone to...

PMID: 19538268
One century after the first description of rickettsiae as human pathogens, the rickettsiosis remained poorly understood diseases. These microorganisms are indeed characterized by a strictly intracellular location which has, for...

PMID: 18657112
Spotted fever group rickettsiae are obligate intracellular pathogens able to manipulate the actin cytoskeleton, thus enabling cell-to-cell spreading during infection. While the RickA protein, which has similarity to the WASP...
