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 ]]> Beyond the obvious: environmental health implications of polar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34763 Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:04:10 AEDT ]]> New insights into the immune response to pneumococci https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13666 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:20:31 AEDT ]]> Migratory birds at Hunter Valley Gardens https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11355 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:11:56 AEDT ]]> Analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their polar derivatives in soils of an industrial heritage city of Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38448 *10−7 (industrial soils) to 2.3*10−6 (residential soils), indicating negligible cancer risks.
