Content:
The book explores the mechanisms involved in platelet-induced fibroblast and airway smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro. It further discusses the importance of HA, FAK, eicosanoid, and ROS dependent signaling in these processes. The author aims to clarify the role of platelets in airway remodeling, a contributing factor to structural changes observed in asthma. The book presents research findings that platelets induce ASMC proliferation through NADPH-oxidase and 5-LOX dependent mechanisms. It is intended for scientists and researchers in the medical field, particularly those studying respiratory diseases and asthma.
