Many everyday foods and seasonings—such as herbs, spices, and aromatic plants—contain natural compounds called phytochemicals that can regulate inflammatory pathways. For centuries, these ingredients ...

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 ...

Joshua A. Boyce, MD, chief of the Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, is the senior author of a paper published in Immunity, "Mast Cells Control Lung Type 2 ...

Chronic inflammation is acknowledged as the fundamental cause of various pathological conditions, and in recent decades, there has been a growing focus on ...

The inflammatory response is a vital protective process, yet its dysregulation can lead to chronic conditions and tissue damage. Central to these processes is the regulation of nitric oxide (NO), a ...

The results of the new study could have significant implications for understanding diabetes. Researchers from the University of Cologne have revealed a mechanism protecting pancreatic β-cells, which ...

A research team led by Professor Jong Kyoung Kim and Yujin Jeong (PhD candidate), from the Department of Life Sciences at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in collaboration with ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have discovered a mechanism that could explain how exercise improves cognition by shoring up the brain's protective barrier. With age, the network of blood ...

Obesity associated with hypothalamic dysfunction was initially described in patients with craniopharyngioma. Hypothalamic obesity may also result from brain radiation, infection (eg, tuberculosis), ...

Chronic inflammation is both a driver and suppressor of cancer depending on context. Key players-NF-κB, IL-6, STAT3, TAMs, MDSCs, and Tregs-orchestrate a tumor-permissive microenvironment.

The understanding of fat has evolved in recent decades. Once regarded as nothing more than passive storage reservoirs for fat, adipocytes are now recognized as critical players in metabolic and ...
