Clinical implications of trans-kingdom microbial interactions in the transplanted lung

肺移植是严重肺部疾病患者的一项重要需求。肺部经常暴露于细菌和病毒中，这些细菌和病毒存在于呼吸道中，对肺部健康可能有益也可能有害。免疫系统和这些细菌之间的相互作用会影响移植肺的健康和寿命。我们的目标是发现如何靶向这些相互作用来提高肺移植的长期成功。

Lung transplantation is a critical requirement for people with severe lung diseases. The lung is constantly exposed to bugs and viruses, which reside in the airways, and can be both beneficial or detrimental for lung health. This interaction between the immune system and these bugs can influence the health and longevity of the lung transplant. We aim to discover how we could target these interactions to improve the long-term success of lung transplantation.
