Curr Opin Pulm Med 12:251-8. 2006..Understanding the biology of these growth factors may allow therapeutic manipulation of these cytokines to create pleurodesis or to inhibit pleural (and peritoneal) adhesion/fibrosis...
Mesothelial cell differentiation into osteoblast- and adipocyte-like cellsSally M Lansley
Lung Institute of Western Australia and Centre for Asthma, Allergy and Respiratory Research, University of Western Australia, WA, Australia
J Cell Mol Med 15:2095-105. 2011..These data strongly support mesothelial cell differentiation as the potential source of different tissue types in MM tumours and other serosal pathologies, and add support for the use of mesothelial cells in regenerative therapies...
Insulin-like growth factor-1 overexpression in cardiomyocytes diminishes ex vivo heart functional recovery after acute ischemiaCecilia M Prele
School of Anatomy and Human Biology, University of Western Australia, Crawley, Perth 6009, Australia
Cardiovasc Pathol 21:17-27. 2012..The aim of the present study was to assess the structural and ex vivo functional impacts of long-term cardiomyocyte-specific insulin-like growth factor-1 overexpression in hearts of transgenic ?MHC-IGF-1 Ea mice...
Mesothelial cells: their structure, function and role in serosal repairSteven E Mutsaers
Asthma and Allergy Research Institute and Department of Medicine, University of Western Australia, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Nedlands, Western Australia, Australia
Respirology 7:171-91. 2002..In the present review, the current understanding of the structure and function of the mesothelium and the biology of mesothelial cells is discussed, together with recent insights into the mechanisms regulating its repair...

Fibroblasts isolated from normal lungs and those with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis differ in interleukin-6/gp130-mediated cell signaling and proliferationYuben P Moodley
Asthma and Allergy Research Institute, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Nedlands, Western Australia, Australia
Am J Pathol 163:345-54. 2003..IL-11 was mitogenic for both normal and IPF fibroblasts. These results provide strong evidence for a fundamental abnormality in a cytokine-signaling pathway, as opposed to alterations in cytokine production, in the pathogenesis of IPF...

Department of Medicine, Royal Free and University College Medical School, London United Kingdom
Am J Pathol 170:65-74. 2007..These data point to novel and unexpected fibrogenic consequences of neutrophil elastase activity in the inflamed lung...
Evidence for incorporation of free-floating mesothelial cells as a mechanism of serosal healingAdam J Foley-Comer
Department of Medicine, Royal Free and University College Medical School, The Rayne Institute, London, WC1E 6JJ, UK
J Cell Sci 115:1383-9. 2002..This study has clearly shown that serosal healing involves implantation, proliferation and incorporation of free-floating mesothelial cells into the regenerating mesothelium...
