Forced vital capacity trajectories in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a secondary analysis of a multicentre, prospective, observational cohort (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disease with a variable clinical trajectory. Decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the main indicator of progression, however missingness prevents long-term analysis o...

An epithelial biomarker signature for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: an analysis from the multicentre PROFILE cohort study (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, fatal condition with a variable disease trajectory. The aim of this study was to evaluate potential biomarkers that predict outcome for people with IPF. Method: The PROFILE study is a...

Genetic variants associated with susceptibility to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in people of European ancestry: a genome-wide association study (2017)
Journal Article

Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive lung disease with high mortality, uncertain cause, and few treatment options. Studies have identified a significant genetic risk associated with the development of IPF; however,...

Loss of epithelial Gq and G11 signaling inhibits TGFβ production but promotes IL-33–mediated macrophage polarization and emphysema (2016)
Journal Article

Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide–binding protein (G protein) signaling is a ubiquitous signaling system that links hundreds of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) with four G protein signaling pathways. Two of these pathways, one mediated by Gq and... Read More about Loss of epithelial Gq and G11 signaling inhibits TGFβ production but promotes IL-33–mediated macrophage polarization and emphysema.

Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor gene deletion alters bleomycin-induced lung injury, but not development of pulmonary fibrosis (2016)
Journal Article

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive, fatal disease with limited treatment options. Protease-mediated transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?) activation has been proposed as a pathogenic mechanism of lung fibrosis. Protease activity in the lun...

Reduced Ets domain-containing protein Elk1 promotes pulmonary fibrosis via increased integrin ?v?6 expression (2016)
Journal Article

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disease with high mortality. Active TGF?1 is considered central to the pathogenesis of IPF. A major mechanism of TGF?1 activation in the lung involves the epithelially restricted ?v?6...

Investigating lung responses with functional hyperpolarized xenon-129 MRI in an ex vivo rat model of asthma (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 The Authors. Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Purpose: Asthma is a disease of increasing worldwide importance that calls for new investigative methods. Ex vivo lung tissue is being increasingly used to study functional respiratory parameters independen...
