      Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common disorder in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and portends a poor prognosis. Recent studies using vasodilators approved for PH have failed in improving IPF ...
    • closedAccess   MUC4 impairs the anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps 

      MILARA, JAVIER; Morell, Anselm; Ballester, Beatriz; Armengot, Miguel; Morcillo, Esteban; Cortijo, Julio Elsevier (2016)
      Background Current evidence suggests that membrane-tethered mucins could mediate corticosteroid efficacy, interacting with glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). ...
    • closedAccess   Mucin 1 deficiency mediates corticosteroid insensitivity in asthma 

      MILARA, JAVIER; Morell, Anselm; de Diego, Alfredo; Artigues, Enrique; Morcillo, Esteban; Cortijo, Julio Wiley (2019-01)
      BACKGROUND: The loss of corticosteroid efficacy is an important issue in severe asthma management and may lead to poor asthma control and deterioration of airflow. Recent data indicate that Mucin 1 (MUC1) membrane mucin ...
