Our review on the role of neutrophils in lung repair has been published in the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology. After our work in neutropenic patients, we started to study their role after the initial phases of damage.
From the abstract:
There is emerging evidence that neutrophils not only contribute to that early damage, but also orchestrate later repair. This article reviews the effects of neutrophils in repair after acute lung injury, focusing on their role as biovectors for proteases and other molecules involved in tissue remodeling.
