Congratulations to Tyler Lovelace for the acceptance of his Nature Communications paper, which is entitled “Lipidomic signatures align with inflammatory patterns and outcomes in critical illness”. This paper addresses the question: why administration of thawed plasma during transport of critically ill patients improves survival? Multiple analytic methods were used, including causal models, of lipidomic and immune mediator profiles and tissue / injury coagulation markers, which provided mechanistic insights to this question.
