University of Pennsylvania Researchers Identify Gatekeeper Involved in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
he road to many an inflammatory disease is guarded by a cytokine messenger protein called interleukin-27, according to researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Chronic inflammation results when the immune system becomes over stimulated and begins attacking healthy tissue in excess. view more (2006-08-22)
TLR4 gene found to protect against tumor development
A new study finds that a gene which plays an important role in immune function, known as toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), may also play a critical role in suppressing chronic lung inflammation and tumor development in mice. view more (2005-12-08)
