This study identifies the oral cavity as a source of lung dysbiosis after spinal cord injury and shows that targeted antibiotic delivery reduces infection risk.

CD163 protects against pulmonary injury and inflammation induced by acute O3 exposure

This study shows that CD163 reduces O3-induced pulmonary injury by clearing cell-free hemoglobin (CFH), as demonstrated in mice and human samples.

Heterogeneous causes of acute respiratory distress syndrome correlate with distinct peripheral polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolites
