Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, are widely known as pain-killers and can relieve pain and inflammation. Researchers found that treatment with the NSAID carprofen... more

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is estimated to affect over 936 million people worldwide, and people with OSA are known to suffer memory problems and depression. New research builds on the known links between depression... more

Severe inflammation in tissues is often associated with the occurrence of cancer. The mechanism linking both these conditions is not clearly understood. Furthermore, inflamed and cancerous tissues contain a heterogenous mix of... more

A new observational study by researchers from Hong Kong demonstrates that disrupted sleep is associated with DNA damage. The findings appear in... more

Sepsis is an often deadly complication of infection in which systemic inflammation damages the... more

Voyagers no longer embark in search of the storied Fountain of Youth, but the quest for longevity is still very much alive for researchers. Chronological age -- the passing of time one... more

Immune T cells in people with rheumatoid arthritis have a faulty mechanism whose repair can stop inflammation and tissue damage in a mouse model. more

Experimenting with mice, researchers report that a low-calorie diet prevented asthma symptoms regardless of the diet's fat and sugar content. The researchers also say they found that obesity... more

Inflammation is the response of our immune system to infection and harmful environmental effects. On one hand, it is beneficial as it defends our body against microbes. On the other... more

Herbs that help reduce inflammation include turmeric and ginger. Green tea is also beneficial. Learn more about the best herbs to help reduce inflammation here. more

Adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who experience excessive sleepiness while awake appear to be at far greater risk for cardiovascular diseases... more

Researchers have made important progress in designing a drug that could recover brain function in cases of severe brain damage due to injury or disease. more

Scientists from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Department of Medicine 3 - Rheumatology and Immunology, headed by Prof. Dr. Georg Schett, have now decrypted a molecular network that controls these... more

Diseases such as multiple sclerosis are characterized by damage to the 'myelin sheath', a protective covering wrapped around nerve cells akin to... more

Michigan State University researchers have measured for the first time the nuclei of three protein-rich calcium isotopes, according to a new paper published in Nature Physics. more

Nonresolving inflammation perpetuated by innate leukocytes is involved in the pathogenesis of unstable atherosclerosis. However, the role and regulation of neutrophils related to nonresolving inflammation and atherosclerosis are poorly understood.... more

Researchers have discovered how overactive DNA repair systems can lead to retinal damage and blindness in mice. A DNA repair enzyme called Aag glycosylase becomes hyperactive, provoking an inflammatory response that produces... more

Understanding the risk factors of cognitive decline are now more important than ever. A recent study examined the potential role of inflammation. more

New research indicates that people suffering chronic inflammation during middle age show a greater decline in cognitive function as they get older. more

Women who have previously been infected with dengue virus may be at risk for increased damage to their fetuses and placentas if they should later become infected with... more

Researchers have developed a blood test that can detect signs of brain damage among people who will develop Alzheimer’s years before the onset of... more

Using the new Imaging Mass Cytometry method, researchers of UZH have investigated the pancreas of healthy organ donors and those with type 1 diabetes. more

Diseases such as multiple sclerosis are characterized by damage to the 'myelin sheath', a protective covering wrapped around nerve cells akin to insulation around an electrical wire. Researchers have discovered how the body initiates... more

A clinical trial has begun to examine the safety and use of two HIV prevention tools--oral pre-exposure prophylaxis and a... more

A research team has identified interaction between two elements of the immune system as critical for the transformation of a protective immune response into chronic, cancer-promoting inflammation. more

When predators hunt for small reef fish in the ocean, many of those small fish do the same thing: they hide in a nearby anemone. more

The DNA replication process in which cells divide to create new cells also triggers repair of DNA damage, researchers from the University of Copenhagen report in a new study. The... more

Aging can cause damage to support cells in the white matter, which in turn may lead to damage in the grey matter of the hippocampus, finds... more

A recent study concludes that drinking soda following physical exertion might cause further dehydration and could even cause kidney damage. more

Despite a scientific consensus, citizens are divided when it comes to climate change, often along political lines, and scholars want to better understand why. more
