Blocking HMGB1/RAGE Signaling by Berberine Alleviates A1 Astrocyte and Attenuates Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy
As a life-threatening multiple organ dysfunction attributable to maladjusted host immune responses to infection, sepsis is usually the common pathway to serious prognosis and death for numerous infectious diseases all over the world. Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is frequently complicated b...
