Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like aspirin and ibuprofen have been found to inhibit enzymes that play a key role in causing sepsis, according to a new study by BioFrontiers researcher Hubert YIn. He's now exploring ways to repurpose the drugs to treat the deadly condition which impacts more than 1 million people annually.
