Connexin-43-dependent ATP release mediates macrophage activation during sepsis
eLife, 2019 Bacterial spillage into a sterile environment following intestinal hollow-organ perforation leads to peritonitis and fulminant sepsis. Outcome of sepsis critically depends on macrophage activation by extracellular ATP-release and associated autocrine ...
