BACKGROUND
Endothelial cells (EC) dysfunction and barrier disruption are central drivers of inflammatory lung injury and adverse outcomes, yet targeted therapies remain lacking. We tested the hypothesis that a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived secretome can directly preserve EC function under inflammatory stress. We...

Sortase A (SrtA) enzymes covalently anchor surface proteins to Gram-positive bacterial cell walls, promoting colonization and virulence. In Streptococcus pneumoniae, previous studies identified both a domain-swapped dimer and an active refolded monomer, but the active enzyme has not been characterized at the structural...
