Antagonists of Hyaluronan Signaling for Treatment of Airway Diseases

Airway diseases, such as Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), constitute a major health burden worldwide. It is estimated, for example, that nearly 15.0% of the adult population in the US are affected with such diseases, and the economic cost burden is over $23 billion annually. Unfortunately, the current options for treatment of...

Defensin-Based Therapeutics for the Treatment of Pulmonary Disease

Investigators at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute have developed modified defensins that are resistant to degradation, have improved characteristics compared to unmodified defensins, and are promising candidates for pulmonary disease therapeutics. Defensins are small cationic peptides that defend the lung against pathogenic microorganisms...
