# 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.

## Key findings

- Surfactant protein D was suggested to modulate apoptosis in kidney cells.
- Nfκb-mediated inflammation was reported to be reduced by surfactant protein D.
