Reduction in inflammation over time. A comparison of injury scores at 7 weeks in this study to lung tissue taken 2 weeks post-injury from our previous study [13] showed that overall pathology was higher at 2 weeks than 7 weeks (Graph a), but the degree of fibrosis was similar between the two time-points (Graph b), whist the degree of inflammation was decreased at 7 weeks post-injury from inflammation observed at 2 weeks (Graph c). Significance was determined using unpaired T-tests between time points and is denoted, **p<0.01, ****p<0.0001
