A New Mechanism of Glucocorticoid Inhibition of Inflammation

Cortisone and other related glucocorticoids are highly effective in inhibiting excessive immune responses. But before this, people knew very little about how they did it.   Now, in a new study, researchers from Berlin’s Charlotte Medical School, the University of Erlangen, and the University of Ulm have conducted a more detailed exploration of their molecular mechanisms of action. They report that glucocorticoids can reshape the metabolism of immune cells, activating…
