The role of Src & ERK1/2 kinases in inspiratory resistive breathing induced acute lung injury and inflammation

Abstract Background Inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB), a hallmark of obstructive airway diseases, is associated with large negative intrathoracic pressures, due to strenuous contractions of the inspiratory muscles. IRB is shown to induce lung injury in previously healthy animals. Src is a multif...
