Rapid dexamethasone treatment inhibits LPS-induced cytokine storm in mice
2023-12-07
Abstract excerpt
Severe infection-induced cytokine storm is an urgent medical syndrome with high mortality. To date, no therapy is available. This study shows that high concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induce cytokine storm within 48h and thus kill most experimental mice.
