Mechanical ventilation contributes to diaphragm atrophy and muscle weakness, which is referred to as ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). The pathogenesis of VIDD has not been fully understood until recently. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 24 h of mechanical ventilation on fibro-adipogenic progenitor (FAP) proliferation, endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), and immune cell infiltration driving diaphragm fibrosis in a rabbit model.
