This study shows that TLR9 sensing of tissue damage during influenza infection promotes inflammation and antiviral responses, but its absence leads to impaired viral clearance and prolonged lung injury.

The paper identifies a nerve-fibroblast axis in lung fibrosis by integrating multiple experimental and computational approaches across species.

This study tests if inhaled terazosin, an α1 adrenoreceptor antagonist, reduces lung fibrosis in animal models but finds no significant effect.
