Investigators have identified several steps in a cellular process responsible for triggering one of the body's important inflammatory responses. Their findings open up possibilities for modulating the ...

When a ligament or tendon is strained or torn, it triggers the beginning of an inflammation sequence. In the sequence, an influx of fluid and inflammatory cells arrive to the injured area to remove ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators have identified several steps in a cellular process responsible for triggering one of the body's important inflammatory responses. Their findings, published in the ...

Scientists have just identified how specific immune cells can work together in fat to cause inflammation that leads to weight gain and obesity. Their work pinpoints new avenues to exploit the ...

Dear Doctor: I read that scientists are close to being able to “turn off” inflammation. What does that mean? And isn’t that dangerous because inflammation is a natural part of the immune system? Dear ...

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered novel insights into the production of IL-1 beta, a potent inflammatory protein signal released during many inflammatory responses. Their new findings open up ...

While there is known to be an association between inflammation and depression, it is not known if there is cause and effect. Now, the power of the UK Biobank has been brought to bear to show that when ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – New Cornell University research connects enjoyment of nature to a specific biological process – inflammation. The study showed that more frequent positive contact with nature was ...

Inflammation is a vital player in the metastatic process. Inflammatory molecules secreted by cells in the tumor microenvironment can foster cancer cell dissemination through affecting the infiltration ...
