About this Research Topic
Lung injury during immune responses refers to the damage caused to the lung tissue as a result of an immune response gone awry. The immune response triggers immune cells to release cytokines and other immune mediators that cause inflammation and tissue damage. The process of lung repair involves multiple steps, including inflammation resolution, tissue regeneration, and remodeling. During the resolution phase, the immune response subsides, anti-inflammatory mediators are produced, and fluid is cleared from the lungs. However, the chronic inflammation-induced injury may not fully resolve in some cases, leading to long-term damage and increased susceptibility to structural lung diseases. Lung injury and repair during immune responses is a complex process that involves the coordinated action of multiple cells and mediators. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms involved and to develop effective treatments for lung injury caused by immune responses.
The goal of studying lung injury and repair during immune responses is to better understand the underlying mechanisms and processes involved in this complex process and identify new targets for therapeutic intervention, which might help to develop effective treatments for lung injury caused by immune responses.
We welcome Original Research, Review articles, and other article types, focusing on the following subtopics, but not limited to:
1. Causes and mechanisms of lung injury during immune responses, including lung infection, acute respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and other lung diseases associated with immune system dysfunction;
2. Roles of immune cells and mediators in lung repair;
3. Immune characteristics of the different stages of lung injury and repair, including inflammation resolution, tissue regeneration, and remodeling;
4. Methodology and model for studying the role of immune responses in lung regeneration and repair;
5. The impact of lung injury and repair during immune responses on patient outcomes and quality of life, including the long-term consequences of lung injury.
