SARS-CoV-2 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induces uncontrolled lung inflammation and coagulopathy with high mortality. Anti-viral drugs and monoclonal antibodies reduce early COVID-19 severity, but treatments for late-stage immuno-thrombotic syndromes and long COVID are limited. Serine protease inhibitors (SERPINS) regulate activated pr...
Preprint
Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) infection, manifests as uncontrolled lung inflammation and systemic thrombosis with high mortality. Anti-viral drugs and monoclonal antibodies can reduce COVID-19 severity if administered in the early viremic phase, but treatments f...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked disease afflicting 1 in 3500 males that is characterized by muscle weakness and wasting during early childhood, and loss of ambulation and death by early adulthood. Chronic inflammation due to myofiber instability leads to fibrosis, which is a primary cause of loss of ambulation and cardiorespiratory insuf...
Article
Introduction: Acute respiratory distress syndromes with vascular inflammation and alveolar hemorrhage have high mortality and limited treatment. Autoimmune disease and severe viral infection cause vascular inflammation and hemorrhage. Serine protease coagulation pathways increase inflammatory cell activation and damage. Viruses have evolved highly...

... Treatment is often limited to high-dose steroids with limited efficacy and associated side effects. Studies which investigated wild type Serp-1 and PEG Serp-1 treatment demonstrated a reduction in M1 macrophages with reduced diaphragm fibrosis and increased myofibril diameters [38]. Thus, PEGSerp-1 has the potential to be used as a therapeutic approach in DMD pathology and potentially improve muscle regeneration [38]. ...
