Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by host immune response to infection.. In this regard, modifying host immune response may help to eliminate systemic infection and restore organ function.. Thymosin alpha 1 (Tα1), acting as an immune modulator, exerts great biological influence in activating and restoring the dysregulated immune response for patients with sepsis.
