Potential Drug Targets For Sepsis Discovered by The Scripps Research Institute Researchers

ScienceDaily (Feb. 29, 2008) — “We have identified a key connection of signaling pathways in the cascade of events leading to sepsis. This defines a crucial point where the immune system spirals out of control to cause severe sepsis and where there is an opportunity for therapeutic intervention,” says Scripps Research Professor Wolfram Ruf, who led the research with his postdoctoral fellow Frank Niessen.
