It inhibits the IL-1β-dependent angiogenesis.[5] Dexamethasone elicits a range of effects on cell survival, cell signaling and gene expression.[6] It favors apoptosis in chondrocytes and impairs development of bone.[7] Dexamethasone is a potential therapeutic agent as it induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma (MM) cells.[8] It elicits its functionality by lowering glucocorticoid receptor (GR) α levels and inhibits colon tumor progression.[9] Packaging
