Bronchoalveolar Tregs are associated with duration of mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome
Abstract Background Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play essential roles in immune homeostasis and repair of damaged lung tissue. We hypothesized that patients whose lung injury resolves quickly, as measured by time to liberation from mechanical ventilation, have a higher percentage of Tregs among...
