Protective role of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) in inflammation-resolution during post #lungtransplant injury involves upregulation of macrophage efferocytosis to resolve allograft injury. @17000kmwalker 🔗jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

MerTK-dependent efferocytosis by monocytic-MDSCs mediates resolution of post-lung transplant injury biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_immuno

Our new study demonstrates that RvD2/GPR18 axis stimulates monocytic-MDSCs to immunomodulate smooth muscle cell activation and mitigate abdominal aortic aneurysms. Gilbert Upchurch UF Surgery

Our latest preprint implicating ATII epithelial cell-mediated ferroptosis in post-lung transplant injury, alleviated by LipoxinA4/FPR2 signaling.

Really proud of my graduate student, Victoria Leroy who completed her PhD from my lab today!! Congrats, Dr. Leroy! UF Surgery

Pharmacologic Inhibition of Ferroptosis Attenuates Experimental Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Formation biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_immuno

Latest study from our group, with lipidomics and scRNA seq data, implying an important role of ferroptosis in human and experimental AAAs.

Congrats, Michael! So proud of our lab residents!

Our latest study demonstrates the importance of ferroptosis in alveolar epithelial cells during post-lung transplant graft injury. Mitigation of ferroptosis by LipoxinA4 via Nrf2 pathway alleviates pulmonary injury. Congrats to all team members. faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj…
