MAPK14 and Sepsis: Postoperative sepsis data further support the role of ferroptosis-related genes such as solute carrier family 38 member 1 (SLC38A1), microsomal glutathione S-transferase 1 (MGST1), and MAPK14 in immune dysregulation, with elevated neutrophil counts and reduced HLA-DR expression on monocytes linked to worse outcomes [80].
