Can you catch a bad back?
Two fifths of British adults have experienced back pain in the past year and it is one of the largest causes of work absence in the UK. Now, a collaborative project between researchers at Aston University, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham have carried out a successful study to find out if some back pain... view more...

New Jefferson study may redefine how a chronic auto-immune disease is diagnosed
New research from Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience (JHN) may redefine how Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is diagnosed. view more (2009-06-11)
Clues to the cause of difficulty with swallowing in children
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is disease that was first described in children only 20 years ago, but has shown a rising incidence in both children and adults. view more (2007-01-19)
Researchers resolve how COX inhibitors cause heart hazards, and offer alternative treatment strategy
Inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were developed to relieve inflammatory pain as effectively as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), but without one of their major side effects, gastrointestinal bleeding. view more (2006-04-14)
Gene Variation Can Lower Susceptibility To HIV Infection
Researchers at The University of Manchester have identified small variations in a gene which can determine whether a person contracts HIV or develops AIDS. Professor Bill Ollier, and Dr Ali Hajeer, of the ARC Epidemiology Unit at The University of Manchester, have found new variants of the RANTES gene that seem to play a role in rendering people... view more...

Antibody to a naturally-occurring sugar chain in colon inhibits inflammatory bowel disease
A collaboration led by the Burnham Institute for Medical Research has found that an antibody which binds to an unusual sugar molecule residing in the gut halts the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease and other intestinal inflammations. view more (2005-10-07)
Single microRNA fine-tunes innate immune response
A single microRNA, microRNA-223, in mice controls the production and activation of granulocytes, white blood cells essential for host defense against invading pathogens. view more (2008-02-20)
New Treatment Promising For Ulcerative Colitis Sufferers
For people with the chronic disease ulcerative colitis, life can be limited to few social functions and trips away from home. view more (2006-01-04)
New discovery may improve treatment of one of the world's leading causes of blindness
An inflammatory eye condition that is one of the world's leading causes of blindness could be treated much more effectively and easily thanks to a new discovery here. view more (2007-10-01)
MS patients have higher spinal fluid levels of suspicious immune molecule
A protein that helps keep immune cells quiet is more abundant in the spinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), further boosting suspicion that the protein, TREM-2, may be an important contributor to the disease. view more (2008-09-30)
Il-22 gene delivers the goods and decreases intestinal inflammation
There are two major types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). view more (2008-01-03)
Weight at birth tied to heart disease and diabetes risk in adulthood
Lower weight at birth may increase inflammatory processes in adulthood, which are associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-04-01)
Inflammation may play role in metastasis of prostate cancer
Many would assume that "mounting an immune response" or "having your body fight the cancer" is a good thing. Now, research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine strongly suggests that inflammation associated with the progression of tumors actually plays a key role in the metastasis of prostate... view more...

Key to treating killer disease may be uncovered by UK team
UK researchers think they are close to finding the first effective treatment to fight one of the biggest killer diseases in the UK. Professor Peter Barnes will present the work at the British Endocrine Societies 2005 meeting in Harrogate. view more (2005-04-01)
Genetic mutation increases risk of preterm birth
Genetic mutations in the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene appear to have significant association with inflammatory injury to the placenta and developing baby, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh's department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences report at the 28th annual meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine view more (2008-02-04)
Popular Alzheimer's theory may be false trail
The idea that anti-inflammatory drugs might protect people struggling with dementia from Alzheimer's disease has received a blow with the online release of a study of human brain tissue in Acta Neuropathologica. view more (2009-06-16)
Reflux esophagitis due to immune reaction, not acute acid burn, UT Southwestern researchers report
Contrary to current thinking, a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) might not develop as a direct result of acidic digestive juices burning the esophagus, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found in an animal study. view more (2009-11-20)
Short-term topical corticosteroid use may offer relief for patients with acute form of psoriasis
Researchers suggest a short-term application of topical corticosteroids and maintenance with a less potent agent for patients with intertriginous psoriasis (IP). view more (2006-09-19)
New study shows how genes control blood proteins important to health
A new study shows how genes control levels of many blood proteins implicated in disease. The findings are the result of an international collaboration between scientists at the University of Exeter, the National Institute on Aging, and the Tuscany and Florence Health Agencies. view more (2008-05-09)
Case Western Reserve University researchers find protein associated with brain cell death
Neuroscientists at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have found evidence of which protein in the brain's immune cells triggers a cascade of reactions that produces unregulated free radical production that eventually leads to the neural cell death found in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-07-19)
