GlossaryCytokine Storm (CRS)

overactive immune response releasing excessive cytokines, causing severe inflammation

A Cytokine Storm, also known as Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), is a severe immune reaction where the body releases an excessive amount of cytokines into the blood too quickly. This overproduction can lead to widespread inflammation, tissue damage, and potentially organ failure. It is often seen in severe infections, certain autoimmune conditions, and as a side effect of some immunotherapies.

community CRISPR treatment for AGA on the horizon after approval for blood disorders

in Treatment 9 upvotes 9 months ago

CRISPR treatments for blood disorders have been approved, leading to discussions about its potential for treating hair loss (AGA). A study showed that editing a gene related to DHT sensitivity could lead to hair regrowth, suggesting CRISPR may eventually be used for AGA, but it's expected to be expensive and not soon available.
