PPARγ and Alveolar Macrophage Phenotype in Acute Lung Injury
Description: Narrative: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common, lethal disease that occurs in critically ill patients and that has no effective treatment. Enhancing our understanding of the biological mechanisms that lead to the development of lung injury in specific at-risk populations is imperative for the purpose of developing future therapies. The proposed research seeks to provide vital information about key components of the inflammatory response to infection that lead to ALI, and will evaluate the potential of these components to be modulated.
