Yang et al. also reported that short peptides derived from MFG-E8 and flanking its RGD motif alleviated the symptoms of organ injury in sepsis, as reflected by the decreased plasma levels of markers of organ injury such as aspartate aminotransferase and proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6 and TNF-α [44]. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is Sepsis.
