Neutrophils and COVID-19: The road so far.

The SARS-Cov2 infection triggers a multisystem inflammatory disorder, knowing as COVID-19, a pandemic disease. This disease is characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome, cytokine-driven hyperinflammation, and leukocytes count changes. The innate immune response has been linked to COVID-19 immunopathogenesis (e.

Much More than a Cardiotonic Steroid: Modulation of Inflammation by Ouabain.

Since the discovery of ouabain as a cardiotonic steroid hormone present in higher mammals, research about it has progressed rapidly and several of its physiological and pharmacological effects have been described. Ouabain can behave as a stress hormone and adrenal cortex is its main source. Direct effects of ouabain are originated due to the binding to its receptor, the Na/K-ATPase, on target cells.
