Pathogens express several signature molecules, known as pathogen-associated molecular …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are deadly weapons used by phagocytes and other cell
types, such as lung epithelial cells, against pathogens. ROS can kill pathogens directly by …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a fatal complication of influenza infection. In
this Review we provide an integrated model for its pathogenesis. ARDS involves damage to …
