Steen solution protects pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells and preserves endothelial barrier after lipopolysaccharide-induced injury

Steen solution preserves pulmonary endothelial barrier function after lipopolysaccharide exposure by promoting an anti-inflammatory environment via attenuation of oxidative stress, toll-like receptor 4-mediated signaling, and conservation of interendothelial junctions. These protective mechanisms offer insight into the advancement of methods for in vivo lung perfusion with Steen for the treatment of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome.
