By fitting microparticle ‘backpacks’ to important inflammatory cells called macrophages, researchers significantly reduced lesion size and inflammation caused by traumatic brain injury. Working with biology rather than against it, this novel approach h… Continue reading Cells wearing ‘backpacks’ shrink traumatic brain injury lesions by 56%
Researchers have developed a novel non-steroidal anti-inflammatory from the active ingredient in a medicinal plant used throughout Southeast Asia. The novel compound doesn’t suppress the innate immune system like currently used corticosteroids do, open… Continue reading Plant non-steroidal anti-inflammatory leaves immune system intact
Researchers have identified a way of selectively eliminating the ‘bad’ immune cells that contribute to autoimmune skin diseases, while leaving the ‘good’ cells intact. The discovery could lead to longer-lasting, more targeted treatments for conditions … Continue reading Immunotherapy strategy offers hope to autoimmune skin disease sufferers
Researchers have identified how Lactobacillus, a member of our guts’ microbiome community, affects a critical immune system protein, influencing stress levels and mental health. The findings could lead to new ways to prevent and treat depression and an… Continue reading Study uncovers how specific gut bacteria may improve mental health
A new study has found that trans-vaccenic acid, a fatty acid found in dairy products and the meat of grazing animals, may boost the cancer-killing abilities of the immune system’s T cells. Also found to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy, the n… Continue reading Fatty acid in beef & dairy found to boost immune cells’ cancer response

Also found to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy, the n… Continue reading Fatty acid in beef & dairy found to boost immune cells’ cancer response
Researchers have improved upon existing organoids, creating a miniature 3D colon complete with immune cells that could lead to the development of personalized treatments for colon-related diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and cancer.Continue … Continue reading Mini colons with immune cells may lead to personalized disease treatments
It’s well documented that vitamin B12, or cobalamin, helps red blood cells form and facilitates DNA synthesis that protects genetic mutations in our cells. It is also crucial in the development and ongoing function of our brain and nerve cells. Now, sc… Continue reading Vitamin B12 helps reprogram cells to heal tissue & fight chronic disease
A new study has found that TLR7, a protein that normally triggers our immune system to defend against certain viruses, plays a pivotal role in exacerbating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD. The unexpected discovery may lead to new therapeu… Continue reading Protein discovery raises prospect of treatment for COPD
