Paper Summary

The researchers wanted to see if a drug called raloxifene could protect the lungs after an injury in rats. They gave the rats the drug before and after causing lung injury. The rats that received raloxifene had better lung function and less lung damage compared to those that didn't get the drug. This shows that raloxifene can help protect the lungs after an injury.
