Scientists at Texas A&M created a nasal spray that restored memory and reduced brain inflammation in older mice, showing promise for treating human dementia. With 69 million people worldwide living with dementia, this non-invasive breakthrough could help millions age with sharper minds.
Scientists created a molecule that stops arthritis inflammation without weakening the body's ability to fight real infections. The breakthrough could help 15 million Americans manage autoimmune diseases more safely.
Scientists developed a simple nasal spray that reversed brain inflammation and restored memory in just two doses. The therapy worked for weeks after treatment and could reshape how we age.
UK regulators just approved olezarsen, the first treatment in years for familial chylomicronemia syndrome, a rare genetic condition that can cause life-threatening pancreatic inflammation. Clinical trials showed patients reduced dangerous fat levels by a third while experiencing fewer emergency attacks.
Scientists discovered that inflammation, not just cholesterol, may cause up to a quarter of heart disease deaths. An affordable drug already used for gout just got FDA approval to prevent heart attacks by calming this hidden threat.
One in four heart attack patients have none of the usual risk factors, yet they fare worse than those who do. After decades of research, scientists may have found the hidden culprit: chronic inflammation.
People with a rare genetic disorder that causes dangerous fat buildup in their blood now have a breakthrough treatment that cuts triglyceride levels by nearly a third. The UK just approved olezarsen for adults with familial chylomicronemia syndrome, a condition that can trigger life-threatening pancreas inflammation.
Scientists at Yale's Center for Emotional Intelligence have found that breaking the habit of rumination can improve both mental and physical health. Their research shows simple techniques can stop thought spirals and reduce inflammation linked to aging.
Scientists discovered that pairing everyday spices like mint, eucalyptus, and chili peppers creates anti-inflammatory effects hundreds of times stronger than using each alone. The breakthrough could transform how we use food to fight chronic diseases.
Scientists discovered that combining mint, chili pepper, and eucalyptus compounds creates an anti-inflammatory effect hundreds of times stronger than using any single ingredient alone. The breakthrough explains why traditional spice blends may offer real health benefits at normal dietary levels.
Scientists discovered that keratin 16 acts as a natural "brake" on skin inflammation, explaining why mutations cause painful conditions like psoriasis and eczema. This breakthrough could lead to targeted treatments for millions suffering from inflammatory skin diseases.
A breakthrough medication called Lunsekimig showed promising results in global trials, offering hope that asthma patients might one day reduce or eliminate their dependence on inhalers. The drug targets the root cause of airway inflammation rather than just treating symptoms.
Researchers have discovered what causes devastating scar tissue in Crohn's disease patients, opening the door to treatments that could prevent scarring rather than just treating inflammation. For the first time, scientists can target the root cause of fibrosis that sends thousands to surgery each year.
Scientists in Japan discovered unique "good fats" in colorful rice varieties that could help regulate blood sugar and reduce inflammation. Green and black rice contain compounds never before found in rice that may support metabolic health.
Researchers at Kyoto University discovered how to selectively destroy senescent cells that fuel inflammation and age-related diseases. The breakthrough could lead to new therapies that help older adults maintain resilience and health.
A groundbreaking clinical trial has begun testing an oral medication that could slow Parkinson's disease progression by targeting inflammation in the brain. The drug has already shown a remarkable safety record across multiple disease trials.
A Cambridge biotech just secured $5 million to fast-track a groundbreaking Alzheimer's treatment that targets brain inflammation instead of protein buildup. The therapy could help millions by addressing a root cause that's been overlooked for decades.
Scientists are discovering that reducing everyday inflammation in your body might protect against Alzheimer's disease. The best part? The same simple actions also improve your heart health, mood, and longevity.
Mayo Clinic researchers discovered a promising treatment that targets harmful "zombie cells" in diabetic kidneys, potentially helping over 12 million Americans. The short-term therapy improved kidney function and reduced inflammation in groundbreaking studies.
