Excerpt:
Researchers have created a new protein therapy for carbon monoxide poisoning that could eventually be carried by emergency responders to immediately help patients.
More than 1,500 Americans die from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning each year, and more than 50,000 seek emergency treatment.
Jesus Tejero, associate professor of medicine, and his lab at the University of Pittsburgh’s Heart, Lung, Blood, and Vascular Medicine Institute developed RcoM-HBD-CCC, a protein-based therapy for CO poisoning, with Mark Gladwin’s group at the University of Maryland.
