Episode notes
Interleukin-6 and Cytokine Storm
- Interleukin-6, a key inflammatory cytokine, acts as a fire alarm, alerting the body to foreign invaders.
- Excessive or prolonged IL-6 levels lead to a cytokine storm, causing autoimmune issues like those seen in COVID-19.
COVID-19 and Hemoglobin
- COVID-19 may be a disease of the hemoglobin, where it loses its iron molecule, leading to reduced oxygen binding.
- This free iron causes oxidation and tissue damage, potentially triggering a massive cytokine storm.
Stem Cell Therapy's Promise
- Stem cell therapy may be the most promising treatment for COVID-19 among currently studied modalities.
- It has shown potential in early studies, particularly in severe cases requiring ventilators.
