Scientists discover a direct route from the brain to the immune system
It used to be dogma that the brain was shut away from the actions of the immune system, shielded from the outside forces of nature. But that's not how it is at all. In fact, thanks to the scientific detective work of Kevin Tracey, MD, it turns out that the brain talks directly to the immune system, sending commands that control the body's... view more...

Key protein molecule linked to diverse human chronic inflammatory diseases
Liwu Li, associate professor of biological sciences at Virginia Tech, has revealed a common connection between the cellular innate immunity network and human chronic inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis, Type 2 Diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. view more (2008-09-16)
Infliximab scheduled treatment has proven to be an effective strategy in IBD patients
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are chronic-relapsing diseases, the clinical courses of which are characterized by periods of remission and periods of acute flare up, determining clinical symptoms which have a strong impact on the quality of life for patients. view more (2007-10-25)
Scientists discover a protein that could revolutionise treatment for inflammatory diseases
Scientists from the University of Glasgow, working in collaboration with Dr Darryl Pappin from Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, have identified a potent, naturally-produced, anti-inflammatory agent. The research, published in the December issue of Nature Medicine*, in a paper by Dr John Young from Glasgow, could lead to the development of... view more... (1999-11-29)
New study re-evaluates cardiovascular risks of anti-inflammatory drugs
High doses of some traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are associated with similar cardiovascular risks as the new generation of anti-inflammatory drugs known as COX 2 inhibitors (like Vioxx ®), finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-06-02)

Probiotic bacteria can induce monocyte-derived dendritic cells maturation?
Probiotic bacteria are widely used to relieve the symptoms of many disorders such as inflammatory bowel syndrome, diarrhea, and allergies. Probiotic mixtures have also been found to reduce the symptoms of diarrhea. view more (2008-09-25)
Wheat bran can double the benefits of a high fibre diet in cancer prevention
The research team studied the intestinal and fecal contents of 24 pigs, because their digestive systems most closely resemble ours. The pigs were fed typical Western style diets, high in refined fats and sugars, and then either had their food supplemented with resistant starchsuch as that found in grains, corn, and potatoor wheat bran, or both. view more (1999-11-15)
Large burns open up a can of worms
Large burns can trigger cardiac problems and enhanced inflammatory and hypermetabolic responses in patients, a study in the online open access journal Critical Care suggests. Effective treatments may need to focus on these multiple aspects. view more (2007-08-23)
Major genetic breakthrough for ankylosing spondylitis brings treatment hope
Research funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Arthritis Research Campaign has identified two genes implicated in the disease ankylosing spondylitis, a common disease primarily causing back pain and progressive stiffness. view more (2007-10-22)
Vitamin A deficiency linked to major intestinal surgery
Major intestinal surgery, including stomach reduction for obesity, may boost the chances of subsequent vitamin A deficiency, suggests a small study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. view more (2006-06-14)
