MRC Scientists Unlock One of the Secrets of Inflammation Offering Hope of New Treatments for Arthritis, Asthma and Cancer
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists, working with colleagues at the University of Oxford, have unravelled the structure and function of a common protein molecule at the heart of the process of inflammation. The discovery, published today (February 27 2004) in Molecular Cell, provides an exciting platform for research into the development of... view more... (2004-02-25)
Researchers identify molecular basis of inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, severely impair the lives of more than four million people worldwide. The development of effective therapies against these diseases requires an understanding of their underlying molecular mechanisms. Researchers from the Universities of Cologne and Mainz in Germany, the... view more... (2007-03-15)

A Jekyll and Hyde of cytokines: IL-25 both promotes and limits inflammatory diseases
The same signal responsible for promoting the type of immune responses that cause asthma and allergy can also limit the type of inflammation associated with debilitating diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. view more (2006-04-10)
Profiling amniotic fluid yields faster test for infection and preterm birth risk, researchers find
Researchers at the 26th Annual Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) meeting today announced that profiling certain proteins in amniotic fluid is the fastest and most accurate way to detect potentially dangerous infections in pregnant women. view more (2006-02-02)
Association between low birth weight, excessive weight gain and heart problems in later life
Researchers who have followed 5,840 people from before birth to the age of 31 have found evidence suggesting that small size at birth and excessive weight gain during adolescence and young adulthood may lead to low grade inflammation, which, in turn, is associated with an increased risk of developing heart disease. view more (2008-04-10)

Infliximab Could Prevent Sight Loss From Behcet's Disease (p 295)
A drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease could play an important role in preventing sight loss associated with the inflammatory disorder Behcet's disease, suggest authors of a fast-track research letter published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Beh'§et's disease is a rare condition (although with increased incidence in... view more... (2001-07-25)
Apolipoprotein(a): A natural regulator of inflammation
In a study to be published in the January 09 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, Hoover-Plow and co-workers in seeking to define a role of apo(a) in leukocyte recruitment have identified a novel activity of apo(a) apolipoprotein that may function as a natural and cell specific suppressor of the inflammatory response in vivo. view more (2008-12-29)
