MicroRNA-155: Regulation of Immune Cells in Sepsis by Ming Chen, Fuquan Wang, Haifa Xia, Shanglong Yao

“…So far, a large number of experiments have shown that the expression of miR-155 is increased at an early stage of sepsis and that this increase is positively correlated with disease progression and severity. In addition, by blocking the proinflammatory effects of miR-155, it can effectively improve sepsis-related organ injury, providing novel insights to identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for sepsis. …”
