In sepsis, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies endanger cellular homeostasis and survival. Autophagy is primarily a mechanism of cellular survival under fasting conditions. However, autophagy-dependent cell death, known as autophagic cell death, is p
In bacteremia the majority of bacterial species are killed by oxidation on the surface of erythrocytes and digested by local phagocytes in the liver and the spleen. Sepsis-causing bacteria overcome this mechanism of human innate immunity by versatile res
