Killing Two Birds with One Stone: Mold-induced Pulmonary Immune Responses and Arterial Remodeling

Brain et al discuss the study by Croston and colleagues on mold-induced pulmonary immune responses and arterial modeling. Their study show show both pulmonary arterial remodeling and a mixed T-helper cell type 1 (Th1)/Th2 T-cell response to two different strains of the toxic mold Stachybotrys chartarum. The results revealed that repeated exposures to two different strains of S. chartarum lead to different patterns of inflammation and arterial remodeling.
