Identification of kidney injury–released circulating osteopontin as causal agent of respiratory failure
Tissue injury can drive secondary organ injury; however, mechanisms and mediators are not
well understood. To identify interorgan cross-talk mediators, we used acute kidney injury …

[HTML][HTML] Chronic lung diseases: entangled in extracellular matrix
JK Burgess, MC Harmsen - European Respiratory Review, 2022 - Eur Respiratory Soc
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the scaffold that provides structure and support to all
organs, including the lung; however, it is also much more than this. The ECM provides …
