HEART OF INFLAMMATION
Animations and 3D visuals produced to reinforce the pathophysiology concepts on www.heartofinflammation.com,
a resource for healthcare providers that communicates the central role of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1 in recurrent pericarditis.
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a family of cytokines that includes IL-1α and IL-1β — cell signaling proteins that activate local and systemic inflammation.
Interaction between IL-1α and IL-1β triggers the autoinflammatory cycle of recurrent pericarditis and drives ongoing tissue injury in the pericardium.
3D Production: Newt Studios
Agency: MERGE
