This study shows vitamin D3 deficiency worsens abdominal aortic aneurysm by increasing complement C3a activation, suggesting targeting this pathway could be a new treatment.

This study evaluates ventilation at 10°C for preserving donor lungs in mice, finding it reduces injury and improves function compared to static storage at 4°C or 10°C.

This study shows that BMP9 therapy reduces primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation by improving endothelial function and reducing inflammation.

This study shows that LxA4/FPR2 signaling reduces ferroptosis in alveolar epithelial cells via NRF2 activation, protecting against lung ischemia-reperfusion injury.

This study shows that MerTK-dependent efferocytosis by monocytic-MDSCs reduces post-lung transplant ischemia-reperfusion injury.

This study uses machine learning to identify cytokines predictive of primary graft dysfunction in lung transplantation, finding BAL fluid at 2h post-transplant as the strongest predictor.
