Ubiquitin treatment enhances the Th2 cytokine response in postischemic lungs during reperfusion, reduces lung edema formation, and improves pulmonary function during lung ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study further defines ubiquitin's anti-inflammatory properties, and suggests that it could be used therapeutically to improve function of postischemic lungs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
