摘要
Systemic inflammation results in a life-threatening drop in blood pressure. Targeting known players of blood pressure regulation has so far failed to improve outcomes for individuals with sepsis. But a study points to a regulatory pathway involving the amino acid metabolite kynurenine that may provide new avenues for therapies (pages 279-285).
