Cytokine Storm in COVID-19 Patients, Its Impact on Organs and Potential Treatment by QTY Code-Designed Detergent-Free Chemokine Receptors by Mujahed I. Mustafa, Abdelrahman H. Abdelmoneim, Eiman M. Mahmoud, Abdelrafie M. Makhawi

“…However, there are novel protein modification tools called the QTY code, which are similar in their structure to antibodies, which could provide a solution to excess cytokines. These synthetic proteins can be injected into the body to bind the excess cytokines created by the cytokine storm; this will eventually remove the excessive cytokines and inhibit the severe symptoms caused by the COVID-19 infection. …”

Lipids and C-reactive protein predict anhedonia and reward circuit functional connectivity responses to anti-cytokine and dopaminergic therapies in patients with depression by Aditya Singh, Mandakh Bekhbat, David R. Goldsmith, Ngoc-Anh Le, Evanthia C. Wommack, Zhihao Li, Ebrahim Haroon, Jennifer C. Felger

“…To extend our previous findings on relationships between plasma lipids and antidepressant response to anti-cytokine therapy, we explored in secondary analyses whether lipid-related biomarkers similarly predicted change in anhedonia or functional connectivity (FC) in dopamine-rich corticostriatal reward circuitry in medically-stable, depressed patients with a range of inflammation levels (indexed by plasma C-reactive protein [CRP]) who were administered inflammation-targeted therapies. …”
