MICROVASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL ACTIVATION/DYSFUNCTION AND DYSREGULATION OF THE ANGIOPOIETIN-TIE2 SYSTEM IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF LIFE-THREATENING INFECTIONS
Description
Microvascular endothelial activation/dysfunction has emerged as an important mechanistic pathophysiological process in the development of morbidity and mortality in life-threatening infections. The angiopoietin-Tie2 system plays an integral role in
