Article Synopsis
- Scientists are trying to understand how certain immune cells, like mast cells, affect the body's response to severe infections like sepsis.
- In experiments with mice, they found that removing mast cells helped the mice survive better during infections.
- Mast cells were seen to stop other immune cells, called macrophages, from fighting off bacteria, which made the infection worse.
