Covid-19 collaborators target cytokine storm

Country

Belgium

Entrepreneurs from Belgium, the Netherlands and the US have joined forces to develop a treatment that might dampen the hyperactive immune responses experienced by patients with Covid-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome. These cytokine storms arise when potentially lethal amounts of cytokines and chemokines are released by the body in response to viral infections. The goal is to treat these inflammatory reactions efficiently and safely.
