Airway epithelial cell isolation techniques affect DNA methylation profiles with consequences for analysis of asthma related perturbations to DNA methylation (2019)
Journal Article
Clifford, R. L., Patel, J., MacIsaac, J. L., McEwen, L. M., Johnson, S. R., Shaw, D., …Kobor, M. S. (2019). Airway epithelial cell isolation techniques affect DNA methylation profiles with consequences for analysis of asthma related perturbations to DNA methylation. Scientific Reports, 9(1), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-50873-y

The airway epithelium forms the interface between the inhaled environment and the lung. The airway epithelium is dysfunctional in asthma and epigenetic mechanisms are considered a contributory factor. We hypothesised that the DNA methylation profiles...

Cross-sectional study of reversible airway obstruction in LAM: better evidence is needed for bronchodilator and inhaled steroid use (2019)
Journal Article
Johnson, J., & Johnson, S. R. (2019). Cross-sectional study of reversible airway obstruction in LAM: better evidence is needed for bronchodilator and inhaled steroid use. Thorax, 74(10), 999-1002. https://doi.org/10.1136/thoraxjnl-2019-213338

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis can be associated with reversible airflow obstruction and although no guidelines around reversibility testing or inhaled therapy exist, many patients receive bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids. To better identify tho... Read More about Cross-sectional study of reversible airway obstruction in LAM: better evidence is needed for bronchodilator and inhaled steroid use.

Accelerated 19F·MRI Detection of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2/-9 through Responsive Deactivation of Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancement (2019)
Journal Article
Faas, H. M., Krupa, J. L., Taylor, A. J., Zamberlan, F., Philp, C. J., Williams, H. E., …Meersmann, T. (2019). Accelerated 19F·MRI Detection of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2/-9 through Responsive Deactivation of Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancement. Contrast Media and Molecular Imaging, 2019, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1155/2019/4826520

Paramagnetic gadolinium ions (Gd III), complexed within DOTA-based chelates, have become useful tools to increase the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast in tissues of interest. Recently, " on/off " probes serving as 19 F·MRI biosensor for targ...
