HMGB1-targeted anti-inflammatory rBox A gene therapy for viral airway infections and systemic inflammatory disease models

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a host-derived proinflammatory molecule released during cell injury. Elevated extracellular HMGB1 levels have been associated with disease severity. HMGB1 contributes to host influenza responses by stimulating TLR4/MD-2 signaling, amplifying l...
