New players in the sepsis-protective activated protein C pathway
16 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Recombinant activated protein C (aPC) improves the survival of patients with severe sepsis, but the precise molecular and cellular targets through which it mediates this effect remain incompletely understood. In this issue of the JCI, Kerschen et al. show that endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) is specifically expressed by mouse CD8+ dendritic cells and that these coordinators of host responses to...
