  • Methods for treating adult respiratory distress syndrome
    Patent number: 8420080
    Abstract: We have discovered that the activated phosphorylated form of focal adhesion kinase (hereafter “FAKp”) strengthens the microvascular endothelial cell (EC) junctions that form a barrier in pulmonary endothelia, and the increased barrier helps to prevent acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Thus certain embodiments of the invention are directed to prevention and treatment of ALI and ARDS by administering a therapeutically effective amount of FAKp to subjects at risk of developing or diagnosed as having either ALI or ARDS.
