Adrenomedullin Maintains Blood Vessel Barrier Integrity: Why It Matters for Sepsis and Inflammation

Adrenomedullin maintains endothelial barrier function and prevents vascular leak, explaining why it protects against sepsis-induced vascular collapse and why AM-targeting therapy could reduce organ damage.

What This Study Found

Adrenomedullin maintains endothelial barrier integrity through Rac1-mediated adherens junction stabilization, preventing vascular leak during inflammation — the molecular basis for AM's protective role in sepsis and for AM-targeting therapy (adrecizumab) development.
