T cells and lung injury. Impact of rapamycin.

abstract：:Hypervascularity is known as an important element of airway remodeling in bronchial asthma. However, it remains obscure how allergic inflammation relates to angiogenesis in the lung. In this study, we examined the in vitro effects of inflammatory cytokines on endothelial cell functions, particularly angiogenesis. Huma...
