Estrogen receptor β agonism increases survival in experimentally induced sepsis and ameliorates the genomic sepsis signature: A pharmacogenomic study
(2010)Background. Nonsteroidal agonists have been developed that selectively bind to and activate estrogen receptor β (ERβ) rather than estrogen receptor α (ERα). ERβ is expressed equally in both male and female mammals in ...

A monoclonal antibody against RAGE alters gene expression and is protective in experimental models of sepsis and pneumococcal pneumonia
(2011)The RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products) is believed to play a role in sepsis by perpetuating inflammation. The interaction of RAGE with a variety of host-derived ligands that accumulate during stress and ...

NK and NKT cell depletion alters the outcome of experimental pneumococcal pneumonia: Relationship with regulation of interferon- γ production
(2014)Background. Natural killer (NK) and natural killer T (NKT) cells contribute to the innate host defense but their role in bacterial sepsis remains controversial. Methods. C57BL/6 mice were infected intratracheally with 5 × ...
