Researchers Discover New Nanoparticle-Based Treatment to Cure Sepsis in Mice

In the United States alone, sepsis, or the body’s overreaction to an infection, strikes more than 1.5 million individuals and kills nearly 270,000 people every year. Many patients do not respond to the traditional therapy of antibiotics and fluids, and those who do recover face an increased risk of mortality.
