Scientists have made the case for pecans to be given ‘superfood’ status as a new study reveals the nut has some surprising strengths. Researchers from the US and Mexico found that consumption of pecans (Carya illinoinensis) could successfully mitigate … Continue reading Pecans pack a punch in fighting obesity, diabetes and inflammation
Researchers have injected mice with neonatal stem cells taken from heart tissue discarded after surgery and found that the treatment reduced bowel inflammation and promoted healing, offering a new and alternative treatment to chronic inflammatory condi… Continue reading Heart-derived neonatal stem cells used to treat Crohn’s disease
Australian researchers have identified a novel class of protein found in the saliva of ticks that can switch off the body’s inflammatory response. They say the discovery could lead to a new generation of anti-inflammatory drugs.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Novel tick saliva protein may lead to next-gen anti-inflammatory drugs
Researchers have developed a wearable, noninvasive sensor that monitors for a biomarker of inflammation in the wearer’s sweat. They say the device could be used at home by people with chronic inflammatory diseases.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sci… Continue reading Wearable noninvasive sensor monitors sweat for signs of inflammation
People with severe asthma may not respond to the usual treatment. Researchers have examined what drives the inflammatory response in severe asthmatics at a molecular level and their findings may lead to the development of an effective treatment for the… Continue reading Stopping immune system ‘talk’ may provide treatment for severe asthma
A new study into the biological mechanisms underlying depression may have upended the widely held belief that the condition is associated with inflammation. It found that suppression of the brain’s immune cells might be a contributing factor instead.Co… Continue reading Depression linked to brain’s subdued immune cells, not inflammation
In what sounds like dystopian sci-fi, researchers have recently shown that infusions of youthful blood can improve the health of older people. A new study has found that an existing arthritis drug can effectively rejuvenate blood stem cells, mimicking … Continue reading Arthritis drug mimics “young blood” transfusions to reverse aging in mice

New research has found adding a little milk to your morning coffee may enhance the drink’s anti-inflammatory properties. Across several studies food scientists have demonstrated how milk proteins can bind with antioxidants in coffee, amplifying any pot… Continue reading How adding some milk to your coffee may enhance its health benefits
A clinical trial is underway testing a new kind of eczema treatment, developed to silence certain genes that play a role in skin inflammation. The results of a preclinical study were recently published demonstrating the experimental topical treatment r… Continue reading New kind of eczema cream works by silencing inflammatory genes
