In SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Cytokine Shock Syndrome, TNF-α and IFN-γ Cause Inflammatory Cell Death, Tissue Damage and Death
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause major illness and death, while treatment options are still limited. In a new study, researchers from the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the United States have discovered a potential strategy to prevent life-threatening inflammation, lung damage, and organ failure in COVID-19 patients. The relevant research results were published in the Cell. The title of the paper is “Synergism of TNF-α and IFN-γ triggers…
