Interestingly, iron chelation has been shown in vitro to suppress endothelial inflammation in viral infection, which is the main pathophysiologic mechanism behind systemic organ involvement induced by SARS-CoV-2, by inhibiting IL-6 synthesis through decreasing NF-kB. Interestingly, iron chelation has been shown in vitro to suppress endothelial inflammation in viral infection, which is the main pathophysiologic mechanism behind systemic organ involvement induced by SARS-CoV-2, by inhibiting IL-6 synthesis through decreasing NF-kB. It could also be reasonable to speculate that iron chelators may prevent the development of pulmonary fibrosis and lung function decline following COVID-19 infection. ./cache/cord-281686-edpyn8fd.txt ./txt/cord-281686-edpyn8fd.txt
