Dual effects of human neutrophil peptides in a mouse model of pneumonia and ventilator-induced lung injury
Abstract Background Pneumonia is a major cause of high morbidity and mortality in critically illness, and frequently requires support with mechanical ventilation. The latter can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury characterized by neutrophil infiltration. The cationic human neutrophil peptides (H...
