Cells involved in the connection between stress reactions in the brain and inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have been discovered in animal models for the first time, according to research from the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.
Molecular sensors that form the so-called inflammasome help activate inflammatory responses to pathogens. A new study suggested that CARD8 is a highly evolved sensor that can detect a variety of viruses and is critical to the human immune system's capacity to identify and respond to coronavi
In an extraordinary example presented by a team at UCL (University College London) and the Royal Free Hospital, three men who experienced heart failure caused by the buildup of sticky, poisonous proteins are now free of symptoms.
Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) [India], May 30: May 29th, 2023 is celebrated as World Digestive Health Day. This day throws light on the importance of maintaining gut and the need to protect them. The Gastroenterology experts at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital provide detailed information on how to take c
According to a recent study from the University of Pittsburgh, in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), extra sugar inhibits cells that regenerate the colon's lining. The results, which were published in Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, may help to explain
Researchers discovered that cancer frequently sends substances into the bloodstream that pathologically alter the liver, putting it in an inflammatory condition, causing fat to build up, and interfering with its regular detoxification functions.
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine found that cancer often releases molecules into the bloodstream that pathologically modify the liver, sending it into an inflammatory state, causing fat accumulation, and disrupting its typical detoxification processes. This finding sheds light on one of
Autoaggressive T cells cause inflammatory fatty liver disease (NASH, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) and the ensuing liver cancer. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ) have finally discovered the cause of this harmful behaviour. They discovered an increase in the number of
According to a new study from the University of Pittsburgh, excess sugar inhibits cells that regenerate the colon's lining in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Calprotectin levels in stool samples can be used to diagnose or monitor common inflammatory conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, while serum levels of calprotectin can be used to monitor the inflammation state in rheumatoid arthritis. Calprotectin concentrations in pati
A researcher at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine has created a novel, more accurate therapy for a leading source of sickness worldwide each year - acute respiratory virus infections.
The immune system in the stomach of children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been mapped by researchers from Karolinska Institutet and Sachs' Children and Youth Hospital in Sweden. The findings, reported in Cell Reports Medicine, can be utilised to develop more tailored medicines.
