Use of metered-dose inhaler electronic monitoring in a real-world asthma randomized controlled trial (2012)
Journal Article

Background Electronic monitoring of inhaled asthma medications is one method to measure medication adherence and patterns of use. Information on the performance of monitors in a randomized controlled trial allows researchers and clinicians to unde...

Measures of body habitus are associated with lung function in adults with cystic fibrosis: a population-based study (2012)
Journal Article

Background Body habitus differences may explain some of the variation in lung function between individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). We tested the hypothesis that measures of lean muscle mass and obesity are independently associated with lung funct...

Epigenetics and miRNA emerge as key regulators of smooth muscle cell phenotype and function (2012)
Journal Article

Regulation of phenotypic plasticity in smooth muscle requires an understanding of the mechanisms regulating phenotype-specific genes and the processes dysregulated during pathogenesis. Decades of study in airway smooth muscle has provided extensive k... Read More about Epigenetics and miRNA emerge as key regulators of smooth muscle cell phenotype and function.

Abnormal Histone Methylation Is Responsible for Increased Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor 165a Secretion from Airway Smooth Muscle Cells in Asthma (2012)
Journal Article

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a key angiogenic molecule, is aberrantly expressed in several diseases including asthma where it contributes to bronchial vascular remodeling and chronic inflammation. Asthmatic human airway smooth muscle ce...
