Abstract

Hyper-inflammatory responses can lead to a variety of diseases including sepsis. It is now shown that extracellular histones released in response to inflammatory challenge are mediators contributing to endothelial dysfunction, organ failure and death during sepsis. As such, they can be targeted pharmacologically by inhibitors, as well as used as biomarkers for prognosis of sepsis and other diseases.
