    Airway Smooth Muscle and Long-Term Clinical Efficacy following Bronchial Thermoplasty in Severe Asthma

    The authors investigated the 2.5-year impact of bronchial thermoplasty on airway smooth muscle mass and clinical parameters by paired data analysis in 22 patients.
    [Thorax]

    Abstract

    FAK Mediates Hypoxia-Induced Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation by Modulating Mitochondrial Transcription Termination Factor 1/Cyclin D1

    Scientists investigated the mechanism of focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-dependent hypoxia-induced proliferation on human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.
