Immunomodulation of the Innate Host Response by Mesenchymal-Derived Versican during Influenza A Virus Infection

Viral and bacterial lung infections place a significant burden on public health. Versican, an extracellular matrix (ECM) chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, coordinates the innate immune response in multiple experimental models. Versican’s potential as an immunomodulatory molecule...
