Scientists discovered a breakthrough treatment that targets "zombie cells" causing kidney damage in diabetic patients. The combination therapy improved kidney function and reduced inflammation in early studies.
Texas A&M researchers have created a breakthrough map showing how cells control immunity and inflammation. This discovery could lead to new treatments for cancer and inflammatory diseases.
Getting a shingles shot might do more than prevent a painful rash. New research shows it could actually slow down how fast your body ages.
Getting a root canal might do more than save your tooth. A groundbreaking two-year study shows the common dental procedure could lower inflammation, improve blood sugar, and protect your heart.
Researchers in Tokyo have developed a breakthrough molecule that delivers DNA into cells without causing harmful inflammation, a major obstacle in current gene therapies. Early tests in mice show the new method works up to 14 times better than existing approaches.
Researchers discovered how the body naturally shuts down inflammation using fat-based molecules, opening doors to safer treatments for arthritis and heart disease. The human trial showed that boosting these protective molecules reduced pain faster without suppressing overall immunity.
A Connecticut man became the first patient in his state to test a revolutionary medication that could slow Parkinson's progression by fighting brain inflammation. The breakthrough approach targets the disease differently than any treatment before it.
A simple food pairing could make expensive omega-3 supplements less necessary. University of Nottingham researchers found that drinking kefir with prebiotic fiber reduces inflammation markers more effectively than omega-3s alone.
Scientists created a tiny patch that sticks inside your mouth and catches inflammation before it becomes gum disease. The sensor is so sensitive it could transform dental care from treating problems to preventing them entirely.
Scientists discover traditional African foods like caterpillars, jute mallow, and finger millet contain powerful compounds that reduce inflammation and help manage diabetes. These underutilized indigenous foods could transform treatment for 830 million people worldwide living with diabetes.
A groundbreaking clinical trial found that people with Crohn's disease who ate all their meals within an 8-hour window saw dramatic improvements in symptoms and inflammation. The best part? They didn't have to change what they ate or count calories.
A breakthrough drug combination is giving families living with cystic fibrosis real hope for healthier futures. German researchers just proved the treatment reduces dangerous inflammation for years, not just months.
Scientists discovered that a common diabetes medication protects aging kidneys by keeping blood vessels healthy and reducing inflammation. The breakthrough came from studying tiny fish that age in just months, letting researchers witness decades of organ aging in weeks.
A landmark study tracked 292 families and found that fathers who showed sensitive engagement with infants at 10 months helped shape healthier outcomes years later. By age seven, their children showed lower inflammation and better blood sugar levels.
Scientists at the University of Texas discovered that combining low-dose THC with a common arthritis drug improved memory and reduced brain inflammation in mice, offering new hope for preventing Alzheimer's disease. Both drugs are already FDA-approved, which could fast-track this treatment to human trials.
Researchers discovered that cancer-related weight loss stems from disrupted brain-liver communication, not just inflammation. This breakthrough could lead to reversible treatments that save lives.
Scientists at Washington State University discovered why common arthritis drugs fail for 40% of patients and found a promising path to better treatments. The breakthrough reveals a "backdoor" inflammation pathway that could transform care for millions worldwide.
Researchers at the University of Southern California have created compounds that could calm brain inflammation tied to Alzheimer's disease while preserving normal brain function. The breakthrough targets a specific enzyme elevated in people with the APOE4 gene, the strongest genetic risk factor for the disease.
Researchers discovered why some psoriasis patients develop painful joint inflammation and identified a way to catch it before damage begins. The breakthrough could help protect up to 30% of psoriasis patients from permanent joint damage.
A breakthrough University of Utah study shows red light therapy completely prevented brain inflammation in football players over a full season. The simple treatment could protect athletes, soldiers, and first responders from long-term cognitive damage.
