Micaela(@micaelabazo):I developed severe side effects from repeated corticosteroid use. my dog did too. NOVA's miners are now competing to find a more precise alternative for controlling inflammation. the TAM is massive and includes any species we're willing to spend money on. I remember not being able to sleep (crying) at night while simultaneously recovering from severe poison ivy and bed bug bites with no effective treatment option. (pouring one out for my college housemate for having his crusty climbing friend stay over and my stint at the ecology lab). I know I would have paid anything just to sleep through the night. add my willingness to spend on my pet's healthcare and global trends. boom.

Long-term corticosteroid use is associated to many serious health conditions like osteoporosis, cataracts and glaucoma, besides wreaking havoc on metabolism. For many autoimmune disorder patients though, it's the price they have to pay for controlling inflammation. IL-6 works as a major inflammation amplifier in the body and targeting it can lead to more precise therapeutics that can help these patients avoid corticosteroid use altogether.
