Abstract

How the immune system is negatively affected by sepsis is not fully understood. In this issue of Immunity, Shalova etal. (2015) show that during human sepsis monocytes upregulate hypoxia-inducible factor-α (HIF1-α) activity and acquire an immunosuppressive phenotype while retaining anti-bacterial and wound-healing properties. How the immune system is negatively affected by sepsis is not fully understood. Biswas and colleagues show that during human sepsis monocytes upregulate hypoxia-inducible factor-α (HIF1-α) activity and acquire an immunosuppressive phenotype while retaining anti-bacterial and wound-healing properties.
