title: ARDS and knowledge translation.
abstract: Knowledge translation is an important step for translational research. In this issue of Intensive Care Medicine, a new mini-series of basic research-related reviews is published. Three invited reviews focus on the role of extracellular matrix in ventilator-induced lung injury and mechanotransduction. The major challenges in the diagnosis and management of acute respiratory distress syndrome are discussed, which promote further awareness of knowledge translation in intensive care.
