People who survive serious injuries caused by burn or trauma face a long and difficult recovery period riddled with many potentially fatal complications along the way. Researchers yearn to understand the critical features that can tip the delicate balance of a severely injured body toward recovery, and those factors that cause people to die from such injuries–sometimes weeks after the injury occurred. Identifying those factors could help guide physicians in choosing the best treatment in response to a life-threatening injury.
