Intravascular crosstalk of interleukin-6 and therapeutic glucocorticoids in SARS-CoV2 infection
Scientists from the Institute of Biology at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg plan to investigate the causes and molecular mechanisms of severe COVID-19 courses over the next three years.
In a research project just approved by the German Research Foundation DFG with 500,000 euros, the scientists from the Chair of Systems Biology at the University of Magdeburg, together with colleagues from the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research HZI in Braunschweig, will investigate under laboratory conditions what leads to the serious damage to our vascular system associated with a severe COVID-19 course and thus advance new therapeutic approaches.
