Researchers have identified a previously unknown inflammatory mechanism that may drive the aggressiveness and relapse of ...

When pathogens enter our cells as part of an infection, our body will trigger a programmed cell death known as "pyroptosis" as part of an antimicrobial response. This response also plays a role in ...

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 ...

Researchers discover how mitochondria not only produce energy but also influence inflammation. Whether cells in the human body survive or die under stress depends, among other things, on their ...

When the lungs are attacked by a virus, the damage doesn't stop there. The body's natural defenses cause inflammation while fighting the virus, often leaving lasting problems. The cells that make up ...

A recent study reveals that dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a compound already approved for other inflammatory diseases, can prevent and alleviate periodontal tissue damage. The research demonstrates that ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that targeting a specific immune process ...

New research has updated our understanding of how sugars, known as glycans, help immune cells move into skin in the inflammatory disease, psoriasis. The paper entitled “Leukocytes have a heparan ...

Certain immune cells backstab their cellular coworkers during allergic reactions. Mast cells, the security patrols of the immune system, can trigger allergic inflammation when they run into unfamiliar ...

New research from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has explained how the body’s internal clock influences the inflammatory process of the immune system. The findings describe how immune ...
