    • Abstract:
      A recent report from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam discusses the findings of a study on ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The study aimed to determine whether neutralizing connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) could reduce pulmonary edema in VILI. The researchers found that blocking CTGF did not improve oxygenation or reduce pulmonary edema in rats with VILI. These findings suggest that CTGF may not be an effective target for treating VILI.
