Getting to the 'eye' of the cytokine storm
Upgrade your inflammation research
Inflammation is a vital process in the body’s immunological responses to infection and injury, but also contributes significantly to the pathophysiology of human diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic emphasised the disastrous potential of inflammatory molecules, where “cytokine release syndrome” resulting from excessive immune responses to the virus were responsible for severe/fatal outcomes in some patients. Download our poster illustrating this phenomenon below!
Inflammation has been identified as a key process in the pathophysiology of a very wide range of different types of disease. Read more about how protein biomarker research is providing key insights into the role of inflammation in human health and disease by visiting our inflammation web hub using the links at the bottom of this page.Download the A3 poster (11.7 x 16.5 in) to learn more about:
- How cytokines behave in a normal vs extreme immune response to the COVID-19 virus.
- The role that cytokines play in creating the ‘cytokine storm’ in severe COVID-19 infection.
- How the effects of cytokine release syndrome develop into Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in the lungs.
