Dendritic cells bridge innate and adaptive immunity but suffer dysfunction during sepsis-induced immunoparalysis
Gastroenterology Sys. Review
Dendritic cells bridge innate and adaptive immunity but suffer dysfunction during sepsis-induced immunoparalysis Dendritic cells play a vital role in fighting sepsis
This systematic review examines the role of dendritic cells (DCs) in the immunopathology of sepsis. The authors conclude that while DCs are …
Dendritic cells act as a critical bridge in the immune system, but sepsis can cause them to fail, leading to dangerous immune suppression.
