Viral infections like COVID-19 can trigger systemic inflammation and may lead to high levels of a chemical called cytokines. This is also known as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or a "cytokine storm.

Today I'm joined by rheumatologist Dr. Maximilian Konig at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where he's going to talk about his interest in cytokine storm. Dr. Konig, thanks for joining me.

Researchers can optimize organoid culture growth and consistency with panels of growth factors that are specifically validated for organoids, such as the WENR cytokines developed by Sino Biological.

Sino Biological offers cytokines, marker antibodies, and identification kits for MSC culture to assist in research and development. Schematic overview of cytokines involved in NSC differentiation.

This paradigm shift highlights a key role for the interleukin (IL)-23 cytokine, rather than the previous emphasis on IL-12, as the driving force behind the persistent inflammatory reaction.

Diseases such as covid-19 and influenza can be fatal due to an overreaction of the body’s immune system called a cytokine storm. Cytokines are small proteins released by many different cells in ...
