Abstract
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) constitutes a major cause of death in critical care worldwide, with mortality rates of 40–60 % even with ongoing advances in care. Despite being the focus of ongoing intensive research efforts for over four decades, there are no pharmacologic therapies for acute lung injury (ALI)/ARDS. The lack of success to date with standard ‘pharmacologic’ approaches suggests the need to consider more complex therapeutic approaches, aimed at reducing early injury while maintaining host immune competence, and facilitating (or at least not inhibiting) lung regeneration and repair.
