Dysregulation of the actin scavenging system and inhibition of DNase activity following severe thermal injury

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 391-401, March 2020., 2020
Circulating cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is not found in healthy subjects but is readily detected after thermal injury and may contribute to the risk of multiple organ failure. The authors hypothesized that a postburn reduction in DNase protein/enzyme activity could contribute to the increase in cfDNA after thermal injury.
