    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Transcriptional regulation of cytokine functions in airway cells. ASM cells respond to many cytokines, growth factors and lipid mediators to produce a wide array of immuno-modulatory molecules which may in turn orchestrate and perpetuate the disease process in asthma. Our goals are to identify intracellular signaling pathways by which cytokines modulate or induce these cellular responses. A focus of this project is to investigate the transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms regulating cytokine functions in ASM cells.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
