Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) show promising therapeutic potential in different forms of
acute lung injury. However, it is not clear how MSC sense injury during viral lung infections …

Rationale: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) show promising
therapeutic potential, but it is unclear how they act upon viral lung infections. The aim of this …

Rationale: Following influenza virus (IV)-induced injury, the initiation of well-coordinated
programs for inflammation termination and alveolar epithelium regeneration are necessary …

Influenza virus (IV) infects the upper respiratory tract and occasionally spreads to the
alveolar compartment causing primary IV pneumonia. This frequently progresses to acute …

Influenza virus (IV) infects the human upper respiratory tract and occasionally spreads to the
alveolar compartment causing primary pneumonia. This can lead to acute respiratory …

Introduction: Influenza A virus (IAV)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by
pronounced proinflammatory activation and respiratory lung dysfunction. In this study, we …

Background: Alveolar macrophages (AM) play an important role in host defense and tissue
homeostasis. Even though macrophage polarization has been extensively studied in …

Background Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses can cause severe forms of acute
lung injury (ALI) in humans, where pulmonary flooding leads to respiratory failure. The …

Rationale: Severe influenza virus (IAV) pneumonia is characterized by extensive epithelial
cell death, edema, and inflammation causing acute lung injury. In order to regain …

Influenza can cause acute lung injury. Because immune responses often play a role,
antivirals may not ensure a successful outcome. To identify pathogenic mechanisms and …
