Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosisEric B Meltzer
Department of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA
Orphanet J Rare Dis 3:8. 2008..Meanwhile, pulmonary transplantation remains a viable option for patients with IPF. It is expected that, during the next decade, considerable progress will be made toward the understanding and treatment of this devastating illness...
?-arrestin deficiency protects against pulmonary fibrosis in mice and prevents fibroblast invasion of extracellular matrixAlysia Kern Lovgren
Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Sci Transl Med 3:74ra23. 2011..These data implicate ?-arrestins as mediators of fibroblast invasion and the development of pulmonary fibrosis, and as a potential target for therapeutic intervention in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis...
Severe lung fibrosis requires an invasive fibroblast phenotype regulated by hyaluronan and CD44Yuejuan Li
Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC 27710, USA
J Exp Med 208:1459-71. 2011..Understanding the mechanisms leading to an invasive fibroblast phenotype could lead to novel approaches to the treatment of disorders characterized by severe tissue fibrosis...
Bayesian probit regression model for the diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis: proof-of-principleEric B Meltzer
Department of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, USA
BMC Med Genomics 4:70. 2011..The accurate diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a major clinical challenge. We developed a model to diagnose IPF by applying Bayesian probit regression (BPR) modelling to gene expression profiles of whole lung tissue...
