Distinctive Roles and Mechanisms of Human Neutrophil Peptides in Experimental Sepsis and Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeWOS

Human neutrophil peptides are critical in host defense against infectious sepsis by their cationic antimicrobial properties but may exacerbate tissue injury when neutrophil-mediated inflammatory responses are excessive in noninfectious lung injury. Targeting the basal cell adhesion molecule/P2Y purinoceptor 6 signaling pathway may serve a...More
