Anakinra may fight effects of asbestos exposure

Anakinra is an anti-asbestos drug that shows promise in fighting the effects of asbestos exposure.

Asbestos disease can develop up to 60 years after exposure to asbestos. Around 3,500 die each year as a result to exposure before its use was banned. Most die from cancer but another 200 succumb to the breathing difficulties of asbestosis.
