Amanda Casadei(@42salamandas):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.
