HMOs are really "in the soup" now, says columnist Stephen Hage. Just as they were "building a head of steam," the federal government began to withdraw support by attempting to dismantle the equal contribution requirement of the HMO act.

Department of Medicine.
Article Synopsis
- The immune system typically fights off pathogens while ignoring the body’s own signals, but during lung transplantation, issues can arise with endogenous mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contributing to organ damage.
- Researchers found that mtDNA is higher in lung transplant cases with primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and triggers inflammation through TLR9 receptors, leading to harmful neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation.
- Therapy targeting DNaseI could offer a dual benefit in PGD by neutralizing the triggering mtDNA and breaking down the damaging NETs, ultimately helping to reduce lung injury.
