Sepsis

Controlling the delicate balance between immune cells called granulocytes and monocytes could make the difference between a healthy immune response and life-threatening sepsis.

Small fragments of the coagulating protein thrombin may reduce the likelihood of bacterial wound infection leading to sepsis

Monocytes are ‘reprogrammed’ to be immunosuppressive as sepsis progresses

Inappropriate activation of an immune signaling pathway during infection leaves the body vulnerable to sepsis
