Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a major contributor to high morbidity and mortality, often leading to coagulation disorders (CD) in affected individuals. Baicalein, a natural compound with well-established anti-inflammatory properties, shows promise as a potential treatment for sepsis. However, its molecular mechanisms in sepsis-associated CD remain poorly understood. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of baicalein in sepsis and identified candidate genes involved in its mechanism of action.
