Product Description:
Discusses new treatment strategies for malignant mesothelioma, pulmonary edema, fibrosis, asthma, emphysema, and bronchiectasis. Proteoglycans in Lung Disease considers · glycosaminoglycans as novel therapeutic agents or targets in lung disease · the role of proteoglycans in determining mechanical behavior of lung tissue · hyaluronan and its receptors in wound healing, inflammation, vasculogenesis, and angiogenesis · the impact of small proteoglycans on matrix assembly · versican as a modulator of cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation · antiproliferative activity of heparin and its derivatives on pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells · the effects of mechanical strain on proteoglycans · the functions of proteoglycans in the vascular wall · the effect of hypoxia on glycosaminoglycans in the lung Comprised of more than 1940 references, Proteoglycans in Lung Disease
