View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Agricultural workers including rural veterans are routinely exposed to aerosolized environmental dust and are at heightened risk for chronic lung disease due to exaggerated airway inflammatory responses. Our work has focused on defining inflammatory aspects of organic dust exposures and investigated strategies of inflammation inhibition to prevent lung injury. Our current proposal aims to identify mechanisms for controlling lung recovery after damaging airway exposures as both the initiation and... |
