Researchers from Rice University have engineered bacteria to sense pH levels in intestines and glow green in the presence of inflammation. The bacteria was tested in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), effectively indicating the beginning… Continue reading Engineered bacteria glow to help detect inflammatory bowel disease
A new article in the journal Nature Communications is reporting successful results from preclinical tests for a unique asthma vaccine. The results indicate the vaccine generates antibodies against the inflammatory molecules known to cause severe asthma… Continue reading Landmark asthma vaccine looks to human trials
Research from King’s College London has found new evidence of a link between low-grade systemic inflammation and depression. The large-scale case-control study identified higher levels of an inflammatory biomarker in depressed subjects compared to non-depressed subjects, however, not all experts are convinced inflammation plays a causal role in depression.

A new study is offering novel insights into the effects of too much salt on certain immune cells. The research reveals how salt can dampen mitochondrial functions, disrupting normal immune cell activity and potentially promoting inflammation.Continue R… Continue reading New insights into how too much salt disrupts immune cell function
Although we may all get a dry mouth from time to time, for some people it can be an ongoing debilitating condition. There could be new hope for such folks, however, thanks to a recent accidental discovery.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags:… Continue reading Accidental discovery may lead to new treatment for mouth dryness
New research from a team of Dutch scientists is offering novel insights into the relationship between diet, gut bacteria, and intestinal inflammation. The study, tracking nearly 1,500 people, found consistent associations between pro-inflammatory bacte… Continue reading Study links poor diet to pro-inflammatory gut bacteria
More than one in 10 adults in the United States suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis, a persistent inflammatory sinus condition. A new brain imaging study is suggesting chronic rhinosinusitis is associated with functional brain connectivity changes that … Continue reading Chronic sinus inflammation linked to altered brain activity
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications indicates a possible genetic association between stomach ulcers and depression. The Australian-led research found a genetic link between a susceptibility for peptic ulcer disease and psychiatri… Continue reading Genetic study uncovers link between depression and stomach ulcers
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, are unpleasant, chronic conditions with few effective treatment options. Now, researchers at KU Leuven and Seoul National University may have found a way to potentiall… Continue reading Immune cell “switch” helps send inflammatory bowel disease into remission
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that leads to great discomfort, is difficult to treat and has no cure. Understanding what causes the condition could lead to new treatment targets and improve outcomes for sufferers, and scientists have … Continue reading Bacterial “Achilles heel” offers new target in Crohn’s disease therapy
