5 days left and only 25% needed!

5 days left and only 25% needed!Hi everyone! Thanks so much for helping me make it this far. Just finished the Reddit AMA a couple of days ago and it was so much fun! Wanted to share a great foundation that I have been in touch with for some time:
 http://ardsusa.org/ 
They support individuals and families who have suffered from ARDS. Take a look and think about supporting them as well!
Please spread the word as we are so close to our goal!

Best,
Julien

Can we use our immune cells to fight lung disease?

University of Pennsylvania

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common deadly illness often seen in the intensive care unit. Macrophages, the first responders of our immune system, are always found in lungs of patients with ARDS. However, it is unclear if there is a subset of cells that act as the main propagators of the disease. I believe we can find a subset of these cells that when targeted, may help us stop or even reverse ARDS.
