Abstract:Septic shock, a subset of sepsis, is a fatal condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, the pathophysiology of septic shock is not fully understood. Moreover, the diagnostic markers employed for identifying septic shock lack optimal sensitivity and specificity. Current treatment protocols for septic shock have not been effective in lowering the mortality rate of patients. Most cells exhibit the capability to release extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanoscale vesicles that play a vital role i… Show more
