TGF-beta 1 induces human alveolar epithelial to mesenchymal cell transition (EMT) (2005)
Journal Article
Kasai, H., Allen, J., Mason, R., Kamimura, T., & Zhang, Z. (2005). TGF-beta 1 induces human alveolar epithelial to mesenchymal cell transition (EMT). Respiratory Research, 6(56), https://doi.org/10.1186/1465-9921-6-56

Background: Fibroblastic foci are characteristic features in lung parenchyma of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). They comprise aggregates of mesenchymal cells which underlie sites of unresolved epithelial injury and are associated w...

Growth factors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: relative roles (2002)
Journal Article
Allen, J., & Spiteri, M. (2002). Growth factors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: relative roles. Respiratory Research, 3(1), 13-22. https://doi.org/10.1186/rr162

Treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients has evolved very slowly; the fundamental approach of corticosteroids alone or in combination with other immunosuppressive agents has had little impact on long-term survival. The continued use of cor... Read More about Growth factors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: relative roles.

Differential mRNA expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 splice variants in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary sarcoidosis patients (2001)
Journal Article
Bloor, C., Knight, R., Kedia, R., Spiteri, M., & Allen, J. (2001). Differential mRNA expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 splice variants in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary sarcoidosis patients. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 164(2), 265-272

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a highly mitogenic polypeptide detectable in human lung. Using competitive reverse transcriptase/polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), expression of four IGF-1 transcripts was examined in bronchoalveolar lavage c...
