Platelet transcription factors license the pro-inflammatory cytokine response of human monocytes
8 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
monocytes contribute to host defense by secreting large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Their aberrant activity causes hyper-inflammation and life-threatening cytokine storms, while dysfunctional monocytes are associated with 'immunoparalysis', a state of immune hypo responsiveness and reduced pro-inflammatory gene expression, predisposing individuals to opportunistic infections. Understanding how monocyte...
