A new way to study cytokine release syndrome

The immune system, like the brain, is incredibly complex in the human body. It works harmoniously to protect against harmful external agents. However, it can sometimes malfunction, causing conditions like severe allergies or autoimmune diseases. Researchers are particularly interested in cytokine release syndrome (CRS), where the immune system can become overly active due to triggers like infections, cancer, or medication. Discover how in vivo CRS assays can help test therapies more safely and efficiently, potentially speeding up the development of treatments.
