Sepsis, immunosuppression and the role of epigenetic mechanisms
1 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Sepsis has pro- and anti-inflammatory processes caused by infectious agents. Sepsis survivors have impaired immune response due to immunosuppression. Gene expression during the inflammatory process is guided by transcriptional access to chromatin, with post-translational changes made in histones that determine whether the loci of the inflammatory gene are active, balanced, or suppressed. For this, a...
