Opposing protein pathways steer skin stem cells toward renewal or repair
Two proteins with opposing functions orchestrate the development and maintenance of healthy skin, Stanford Medicine researchers have found. Modulating their activity with topical drugs could reduce inflammation, aid wound healing and slow or halt the growth of skin cancer, the re
Researchers discover new driver of asthma-related inflammation
Researchers at National Jewish Health have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps drive inflammation in allergic asthma, offering new insight into how the disease develops and potentially revealing new targets for future therapies.
AI-guided microneedles bend at body temperature to speed diabetic wound healing
Chronic wounds remain a major health care challenge, especially for people with diabetes, who often experience delayed healing, persistent inflammation and a higher risk of infection. Traditional wound-closure methods such as sutures, staples and adhesives can help bring wound ed
Diets that lower inflammation might cut dementia risk, study indicates
A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods might help people avoid dementia, especially if they have an elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease, a new study says.
How serotonin may help drive long-term allergic inflammation through overlooked immune cel
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have uncovered how serotonin-related metabolism helps regulate an understudied immune cell involved in allergic inflammation. The study, published in the journal Allergy, adds to knowledge about how allergic immune responses may be maintained
Iron helps trigger asthma-linked airway inflammation by activating pathway
Chinese researchers have revealed the key role of iron in initiating allergic airway inflammation. The study, which was published in Cell, was conducted by a team led by Prof. Sun Bing from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science (Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry an
Oyster meat may provide a sustainable solution for intestinal inflammation
Ongoing research provides evidence that readily available and sustainable oyster meat extract may have powerful anti-inflammatory effects on human intestinal cells.
TNF-alpha blocks new neurons in hippocampus, reveals inflammation pathway
A molecule linked to chronic inflammation disrupts the brain's ability to create new neurons, uncovering a pathway with therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases and neurological conditions. The King's College London study, published in Nature Communications, offers in
After weight loss, exercise improves cardiovascular health more than weight-loss medicatio
People with severe obesity who exercise regularly have healthier blood vessels and lower inflammation than those who rely on medication alone, a new study from the University of Copenhagen shows.
Targeted phages curb Crohn's-linked gut inflammation by disabling harmful E. coli traits
A research team at McMaster University has developed a targeted approach to treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using bacteriophages, viruses that infect specific bacteria, to disarm harmful microbes without disrupting the broader gut ecosystem.
Hidden pathway drives COVID-19 infection, triggers damaging inflammation in the lungs
New research has uncovered a hidden pathway that allows COVID-19 to infect the immune system and trigger damaging inflammation in the lungs. The study by La Trobe University and WEHI researchers found SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can hide inside tiny fragments of d
