The effect of corticosteroids on the release of immune modulating factors from Graves’ disease tissue maintained using microfluidic culture. Jun 1, 2017 - May 31, 2018
Graves’ disease (GD) affects approximately 2% of adult women. Current treatments for GD include anti-thyroid drugs, radioiodine therapy and surgery, of which none tackle the underlying pathogenic process. Immunosuppressive agents are therefore of gro...
