Corticosteroids are a broad class of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents that work by translocating to the nucleus and modulating gene expression of inflammatory mediators. They reduce immune cell activation, decrease cytokine production, and stabilize cell membranes to reduce inflammation across multiple tissues.
