UTSW Study Links Protein to Sepsis Outcomes
A new study led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center reveals that the protein angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) plays a dual role in sepsis by both inhibiting and promoting critical blood vessel changes. Published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, these findings provide valuable insight into the mechanisms behind sepsis, a leading cause of hospital deaths worldwide. This research could pave the way for improved methods to predict, monitor, and treat the condition, offering new hope for patients and healthcare providers alike.
