Core Tip

Core Tip: Sepsis often leads to multiorgan dysfunction, including damage to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). This damage accelerates the aging of BMSCs, resulting in impaired self-renewal and differentiation abilities and weakened hematopoietic support functions. These changes disrupt hematopoiesis and may even cause long-term immunosuppression and bone loss. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which protects mitochondrial function, can rejuvenate septic BMSCs and provide a new target for adjunctive therapy to control post-sepsis complications.
