Steroids are widely used to treat inflammation, but they come with serious side effects like weight gain, high blood sugar, and weakened bones. Scientists at the Salk Institute have developed new anti-inflammatory drugs that may offer the same benefits without these risks. These drugs target specific pathways in the body, reducing inflammation without suppressing the immune system. This breakthrough could improve treatment for conditions like arthritis, asthma, and autoimmune diseases. Researchers are optimistic about their potential, though further testing is needed.
