Key Points: 
  • (Credit Feinstein Institutes)
    The new study explores how extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) – an alarm molecule released during sepsis – causes immune dysfunction.
  • Specifically, eCIRP disrupts the cells within the immune system, which ingest bacteria and secrete both pro-inflammatory and antimicrobial mediators, known as macrophages.
  • “There is no single specific treatment for patients with sepsis and it remains an enigmatic disease for researchers globally,” said Dr. Wang, professor and chief scientific officer at the Feinstein Institutes.
  • “By reducing eCIRP molecules, we can lower the bacteria in septic patients and improve their outcome.
