Heterogeneous Patterns of Endothelial NF-κB p65 and MAPK c-Jun Activation, Adhesion Molecule Expression, and Leukocyte Recruitment in Lung Microvasculature of Mice with Sepsis.

Endothelial activation and leukocyte recruitment in sepsis-induced lung injury are regulated by multiple, heterogeneously controlled mechanisms, which vary depending on the type of microvascular bed involved.
