Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction has been associated with devastating outcomes which can eventually lead to permanent disability and death. Elucidation of the meticulously devised network orchestrating endothelial responses, provides information to develop new therapies towards endothelial-related disorders. NEK kinases - which have been involved in the development of human disease – promote vascular leak; suggesting the possibility that their inhibition may ameliorate medical conditions related to barrier derangement.
期刊介绍:
Pulmonary Pharmacology and Therapeutics (formerly Pulmonary Pharmacology) is concerned with lung pharmacology from molecular to clinical aspects. The subject matter encompasses the major diseases of the lung including asthma, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary circulation, ARDS, carcinoma, bronchitis, emphysema and drug delivery. Laboratory and clinical research on man and animals will be considered including studies related to chemotherapy of cancer, tuberculosis and infection. In addition to original research papers the journal will include review articles and book reviews.
Research Areas Include:
• All major diseases of the lung
• Physiology
• Pathology
• Drug delivery
• Metabolism
• Pulmonary Toxicology.
