    Sepsis is characterized by dysregulated immune responses and multiple organ dysfunction, with a need for precise diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

  • 2

    Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) were identified as the most transcriptionally affected immune population in sepsis, particularly the cDC1 subset.

  • 3

    UBE2F was found to be significantly upregulated in sepsis and plays a crucial role in regulating dendritic cell activation and inflammatory responses.

  • 4

    Four ubiquitination-related genes (CUL1, UBE2F, UBE2N, UBE3A) showed diagnostic relevance across multiple cohorts in sepsis.

  • 5

    The study suggests that targeting UBE2F may provide a novel approach for diagnostics and therapeutics in sepsis management.
