Black light does more than make posters glow. Cornell researchers have developed a chemical tool to control inflammation that is activated by ultraviolet (UV) light. The method will allow sc... Read more
A team of University of Pittsburgh researchers has uncovered new details about the biology of telomeres, “caps” of DNA that protect the tips of chromosomes and play key roles in a number of... Read more
Nanosized Trojan horses created from a patient’s own immune cells have successfully treated inflammation by overcoming the body’s complex defense mechanisms, perhaps leading to broader appli... Read more
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and University of Colorado researchers have developed a dynamic “smart” drug that targets inflammation in a site-specific manner and could enhance th... Read more
Scientists who have discovered the mechanism of a protein that suppresses inflammation in the body, say the information could potentially be used to develop new drugs to control inflammation... Read more
Their discovery may one day lead to new treatments for many common autoimmune diseases. Researchers at the University of Georgia report in the Journal of Biological Chemistry that an enzyme... Read more
New research in The FASEB Journal suggests that an abnormal amount of an inflammatory protein called PAR2 is present on abdominal fat tissues of overweight and obese humans and rats Scientis... Read more
Inflammation is the body’s normal response to injury. While it may be a natural defense system, it can lead to disease development if it becomes chronic. A University of Alabama at Birmingha... Read more
Clearing up inflammation with pro-resolving nanomedicines Inflammation is the body’s natural defense mechanism against invading organisms and tissue injury. In acute inflammation, the... Read more
