Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-5 Induces Pulmonary Fibrosis and Triggers Mononuclear Cellular Infiltration

Yasuoka, Hidekata, Zhou, Zhihong, Pilewski, Joseph M., Oury, Tim D., Choi, Augustine M.K., Feghali-Bostwick, Carol A.

We have recently shown that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-5 is overexpressed in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis lung tissues and increases collagen and fibronectin deposition....

Cytoplasmic Aggregates of Phosphorylated Extracellular Signal-Regulated Protein Kinases in Lewy Body Diseases

Zhu, Jian-Hui, Kulich, Scott M., Oury, Tim D., Chu, Charleen T.

A better understanding of cellular mechanisms that occur in Parkinson’s disease and related Lewy body diseases is essential for development of new therapies. We previously found that...
