The role of purinergic signaling on deformation induced injury and repair responses of alveolar epithelial cells.

Cell wounding is an important driver of the innate immune response of ventilator-injured lungs. We had previously shown that the majority of wounded alveolus resident cells repair and survive deformation induced insults. This is important insofar as wounded and repaired cells may contribute to injur...
