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
Instead of injections or pills, why not engineer bacteria to secrete therapeutic molecules from within our gut? A new study is demonstrating this futuristic idea, showing how a genetically modified probiotic can produce an experimental anti-inflammator… Continue reading Bacteria engineered to secrete rheumatoid arthritis drug in the body
A commonly used red food coloring has been found to promote gut inflammation in mice, according to new research from scientists at McMaster University. The study suggests chronic consumption of the food dye may increase susceptibility to inflammatory b… Continue reading Popular red food coloring triggers gut inflammation in mice
An experimental anti-obesity drug developed several years ago by researchers at the Salk Institute has been found to prevent intestinal inflammation in mice. The drug has yet to be tested in humans but the findings point to a novel way to prevent flare… Continue reading Experimental anti-obesity drug reduces gut inflammation in mice
New research from the La Jolla Institute for Immunology has brought a novel, long-term treatment for severe asthma a step closer. Building on a decade of work, the new findings present a potential way to block the thickening of airway muscle tissue see… Continue reading Asthma breakthrough uncovers key mechanism behind airway thickening
A pair of new studies presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RCNA) annual meeting have revealed evidence that corticosteroid injections can hasten progression of knee osteoarthritis. The research, yet to be peer-reviewed and published … Continue reading Steroid injections for knee pain linked to worse osteoarthritis progression
Researchers in the United Kingdom have discovered a blood biomarker that signals the presence of myocarditis. It’s hoped the discovery will lead to a rapid blood test to catch this deadly and difficult-to-diagnose inflammatory heart condition.Continue … Continue reading First-ever blood test for myocarditis detects heart inflammation
New data presented at the Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting suggests long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as naproxen or ibuprofen, can be associated with hastened progression of osteoarthritis symp… Continue reading Popular anti-inflammatories linked to worse osteoarthritis progression
Researchers have discovered a unique type of fat molecule in the brain may have anti-inflammatory effects and play a crucial role in preventing age-related neurological disease. Animal studies demonstrate levels of the molecule decline with age and their absence could contribute to brain inflammation associated with age-related neurodegeneration.
