Baicalein suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury by regulating Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission of macrophages

Acute lung injury (ALI) and its serious form, the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are devastating diseases without effective chemotherapy. Exuberant or uncontrolled proinflammation responses in the lung, also known as “cytokine storms”, is one of the main culprits in the pathogenesis of o...
