RETRACTION: Innate Immune Molecule Surfactant Protein D Attenuates Sepsis‐Induced Acute Kidney Injury Through Modulating Apoptosis and Nfκb‐Mediated Inflammation

TL;DR

This retracted paper claimed that surfactant protein D reduces kidney damage in sepsis by affecting cell death and inflammation.

Contribution

The paper proposed a novel mechanism involving surfactant protein D in sepsis-induced kidney injury.

Findings

Surfactant protein D was suggested to modulate apoptosis in kidney cells.

Nfκb-mediated inflammation was reported to be reduced by surfactant protein D.
