DOI: 10.1186/s12931-017-0704-9
Abstract: BackgroundLung ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury after transplantation as well as acute shortage of suitable donor lungs are two critical issues impacting lung transplant patients. This study investigates the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory role of human mesenchymal stromal… read more here.
