ALVEOLAR TYPE II CELLS ESCAPE STRESS FAILURE CAUSED BY TONIC STRETCH THROUGH TRANSIENT FOCAL ADHESION DISASSEMBLY

Alveolar Type II Cells Escape Stress Failure Caused by Tonic Stretch through Transient Focal Adhesion Disassembly

Mechanical ventilation-induced excessive stretch of alveoli is reported to induce cellular stress failure and subsequent lung injury, and is therefore an injurious factor to the lung.Avoiding cellular stress failure is crucial to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) treatment.In the present study, primary rat alveolar type II (ATII) cells were iso
