What is it about?
This is the first study to identify regional alterations in proteome patterns within the preterm lung and to describe how those patterns evolve over time within continuing ventilation.

Why is it important?
A number of novel observations were made most notably that (1) the number of differentially expressed proteins was four-fold higher in the non-dependent lung than in the gravity-dependent lung and (2) that alterations in the proteome were observed as early as 15 minutes post ventilation commencing, with the complex changes increasing in number with continuing ventilation.
