Differences in MAP kinase phosphorylation in response to mechanical strain in asthmatic fibroblasts

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mechanical strain alters protein expression. It results in phosphorylation of MAP kinases and up-regulation of extracellular matrix proteins. We investigated whether phosphorylation of MAP kinase family members was increased in respo...
