Helfenbein) The primary function of the lung is to facilitate transfer of oxygen to the blood stream. Crucial to this lifegiving task are endothelial cells, which line blood vessels permeating the lung and through which gas exchange occurs. Malfunction of these cells is implicated in a range of different diseases, including COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension. And the COVID-19 pandemic has raised important questions about these cells: Why are some endothelium cells, particularly in the elderly, more susceptible to injury from the disease?
