Implication

Narrative review outlines molecular drivers of acute respiratory failure, highlighting innate immunity and aberrant proteolysis as promising therapeutic targets.

Key Points

  • Summarize the clinical features, epidemiology, and underlying biological mechanisms of acute respiratory distress syndrome to guide translational therapies.
  • Synthesized clinical and preclinical literature addressing acute respiratory distress syndrome definitions, epidemiology, and pathophysiological pathways.
  • Evaluated molecular mechanisms of inflammatory injury to the alveolar capillary barrier, focusing on innate immunity, damage signaling, and proteolytic processes.
  • Identified disruption of the alveolar capillary barrier and extravasation of protein-rich edema into the alveolar airspace as core pathological drivers of severe hypoxemic respiratory failure.
  • Characterized dysregulated innate immune pathways, cellular damage signals, and aberrant proteolysis as critical mechanisms that offer viable targets for disease-modifying therapies.
