Brazilian researchers identify new way to stop excessive inflammation in COVID-19

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have identified a new class of molecules capable of stopping the excessive inflammation typical of the severe form of COVID-19 without impairing the immune response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease.
