New non-steroidal anti-inflammatory can inhibit the cytokine storm and preserve innate immunity

Very early in the COVID-19 pandemic clinical trials in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 confirmed that corticosteroids like dexamethasone reduced mortality, but they were harmful when applied at the first COVID-19 symptoms, due to the weakening of innate antiviral immunity, leading to delayed viral clearance and adverse outcomes in severe viral pneumonias.

Fiber-free diet key to treating childhood Crohn's disease, new study finds

Research reveals how a fiber-free diet in Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN) helps treat Crohn's disease in children by affecting the intestinal pathobiont Mucispirillum schaedleri. It shows that this diet alters gut microbiota, reducing Mucispirillum's pathogenicity and aiding in managing colitis.
