VEGF Production by Ly6C+high Monocytes Contributes to Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury.

Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving procedure for patients with acute respiratory failure, although it may cause pulmonary vascular inflammation and leakage, leading to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Ly6C+high monocytes are involved in the pathogenesis of VILI. In this study, we investig...
