Destruction of subepithelial basement membrane is a key event in the pathogenesis of
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). To evaluate the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in …

It has previously been reported that the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)
in the lung tissues of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) was different …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells with the ability to induce primary immune
responses necessary in innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Osteopontin (OPN) is a …

Macrophages play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
To examine the mechanisms for increased monocyte/macrophage recruitment in IPF and …

The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine the time course of
orthographic and phonological priming in the masked priming paradigm. Participants monitored …

How do comprehenders build up overall meaning representations of visual real-world
events? This question was examined by recording event-related potentials (ERPs) while …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has a poor prognosis and few efficacious treatments. The
immunosuppressant cyclosporin A has been shown to inhibit tumour growth factor (TGF)-β-…

The aim of this study was to determine the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the
pathogenesis of acute lung injury induced by hyperoxia. Twenty-three pigs were exposed in …

The inflammatory process in granulomatous disorders such as sarcoidosis is mainly the
consequence of delayed hypersensitivity induced by causative antigens. Propionibacterial DNA …

We report three experiments that combine the masked priming paradigm with the recording
of event-related potentials in order to examine the time-course of cross-modal interactions …
