Abstract

Sepsis is a result of highly heterogeneous processes characterized by an involvement of multiple components and their interactions at each organizational level of the human body: genes, cells, tissues, organs. The complexity of the underlying biological and immunological processes has encouraged multiple types of research studies comprising a broad panel of clinical aspects. One of the lessons learned to date is that evaluation of new sepsis therapies has been hampered by fairly unspecific, clinically-based inclusion criteria which insufficiently reflect the molecular mechanisms [1].
