    Role of the Protease-Activated Receptor-2 (PAR2) in the Exacerbation of House Dust Mite-Induced Murine Allergic Lung Disease by Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

    Scientists hypothesized that PAR2, a G-protein coupled receptor previously implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases including pulmonary fibrosis and asthma, may play an important role in the exacerbation of house dust mite allergen-induced lung disease by multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

    Flavokawain a Ameliorates Pulmonary Fibrosis by Inhibiting the TGF-β Signaling Pathway and CXCL12/CXCR4 Axis

    Investigators evaluated the effect of flavokawain A (FKA) on pulmonary fibrosis using an animal model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and showed that FKA alleviated the development of pulmonary fibrosis in a dose-dependent manner and improved lung function as well as collagen deposition.

    Forsythiaside a Alleviates Acute Lung Injury by Inhibiting Inflammation and Epithelial Barrier Damages in Lung and Colon through Ppar-γ/Rxr-α Complex

    Scientists investigated the mechanism of forsythiaside A in treating acute lung injury (ALI) through PPAR-γ and its conjugate RXR-α based on gut-lung axis. They constructed in vitro and in vivo injury models using LPS and TNF-α.
