Publication Title:
Elevated PLAUR is Observed in the Airway Epithelium of Asthma Patients and Blocking Improves Barrier Integrity
Advanced BioMatrix Products Used:
PureCol® Type I Collagen, Atelocollagen, 3 mg/ml
How the products were used:
Researchers used PureCol® Collagen to create bronchial epithelial cell cultures for studying how to improve the lives of asthma patients.
Article Conclusion:
This study provides a significant advance in our understanding of the relationship between asthma, uPAR and the epithelial barrier, where elevated circulating uPAR results in a reduced cell barrier, a phenotype prevalent in asthma.
