High-mobility group box 1 protein levels in serum of subjects after exposure to fire smoke - short communication.

Further studies are necessary in order to confirm the importance of this protein in pathogenesis of acute airway injury due to exposure to fire smoke. PMID: 26050980 [PubMed - in process]
