Article Synopsis
- GCs (glucocorticoids) help treat many inflammatory diseases but struggle with lung inflammation in conditions like COPD.
- The study found that GCs can delay the death of neutrophils (a type of immune cell) in normal oxygen but not in very low oxygen levels.
- GCs don’t improve the survival of neutrophils when there are high levels of inflammation or in severe low-oxygen situations, meaning they might not work well in active inflammation.
