A research team has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. This discovery deepens the understanding of a new type of ...

It’s the body’s normal response to infection or injury — but chronic inflammation can lead to health issues. Here’s where inflammation can go wrong and tips for preventing it.

In recent years, the increase in knowledge about the functioning of the immune system has revealed not only its importance in the defense against external agents such as pathogens or toxins, but also ...

Researchers discovered that clearing out certain digestive bacteria with antibiotics helps calm the immune system. This temporary microbial shift protected mice from severe brain swelling and cellular ...

What if there was a switch in the brain that could turn on or off the body’s physical response to stress? New research from scien ...

A new human study has uncovered how the body naturally turns off inflammation. Researchers found that fat-derived molecules called epoxy-oxylipins rein in immune cells that can otherwise drive chronic ...

Whether cells in the human body survive or die under stress depends, among other things, on their mitochondria. Scientists at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Freiburg have now shown that ...

The mechanisms of the arthritis inflammatory response are induced through Negative Regulation of SMAD Protein Signal Transduction, Positive Regulation of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel Activity, and ...
