Regulation of host metabolism and defense strategies to survive neonatal infection
29 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
Two distinct defense strategies, disease resistance (DR) and disease tolerance (DT), enable a host to survive infectious diseases. Newborns, constrained by limited energy reserves, predominantly rely on DT to cope with infection. However, this approach may fail when pathogen levels surpass a critical threshold, prompting a shift to DR that can lead to dysregulated immune responses and sepsis. The mechanisms...
