IL-10 Dysregulation in Acute Mountain Sickness Revealed by Transcriptome Analysis

Abstract excerpt

Acute mountain sickness (AMS), which may progress to life-threatening high altitude cerebral edema, is a major threat to millions of people who live in or travel to high altitude. Although studies have revealed the risk factors and pathophysiology theories of AMS, the molecular mechanisms of it do not comprehensively illustrate. Here, we used a system-level methodology, RNA sequencing, to explore the molecular...
