Among these peptides, peptide 1C1 (FBLN1C1) enhanced ASM cell and fibroblast attachment. FBLN1C1 increased mitochondrial activity and proliferation in fibroblasts. In addition, FBLN1C1 stimulated fibulin1 deposition in PF and COPD fibroblasts, and augmented fibronectin and perlecan deposition in all three groups. Peptides FBLN1C2 to FBLN1C7 had no activity. The active fibulin-1C peptide identified in this study describes a useful tool for future studies. Ongoing investigation of the role of fibulin-1 may reveal the mechanisms underlying the pathphysiology of chronic lung diseases.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:41:15 AEST ]]> A 'soft spot' for drug transport: modulation of cell stiffness using fatty acids and its impact on drug transport in lung model https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22756 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:39:12 AEST ]]> Nanoparticle-based drug delivery for chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49262 Mon 08 May 2023 11:02:56 AEST ]]>
