To avoid stomach upset in arthritis patients, drug combination more effective
UCLA/VA researchers found that for arthritis patients, taking a combination of two drugs may be most effective in protecting against stomach upset called dyspepsia, which is a side effect of common pain medications. view more (2006-05-02)
UCF researchers discover a new protein family implicated in inflammatory diseases
A University of Central Florida research team has discovered a new protein family that may play an important role in preventing inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, some forms of cancer and even heart disease. view more (2008-03-11)
How do infections and toxins launch a cell's self-destruct and alarm system?
Cells are coded with several programs for self-destruction. Many cells die peacefully. Others cause a ruckus on their way out. view more (2008-03-11)
COX-2 inhibitor could be safest anti-inflammatory drug for older people (p 1751)
A Canadian study involving over 130,000 older people in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows how the anti-inflammatory cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib may have a lower risk of congestive heart failure compared with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Non-selective, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are... view more... (2004-05-26)

The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center will hold the first international inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) conference on December 6-7, to bring together internationally recognized breast cancer clinicians and scientists. view more (2008-12-08)
Researchers identify molecule that causes destructive lung inflammation in cystic fibrosis patients
Scientists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a protein that is critical to the development of inflammation during lung infection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). view more (2006-11-07)
Key to out-of-control immune response in lung injury found
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have discovered how a protein modulates the inflammatory response in sudden, life-threatening lung failure. The protein's previously unknown role is reported in the August issue of Nature Medicine. view more (2007-08-17)
Arterial, venous or total mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion causes different types of injury?
It is known that I/R induces an inflammatory response deleterious to the organ involved but also to the system as a whole. view more (2009-08-27)
Researchers identify antibiotic protein that defends the intestine against microbial invaders
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that is made in the intestinal lining and targets microbial invaders, offering novel insights into how the intestine fends off pathogens and maintains friendly relations with symbiotic microbes. view more (2006-08-25)
New oncogene gives valuable insight into hepatocellular tumors in humans
The first identification of GP130 somatic activating mutations* in human tumours was announced today at EASL 2009, the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Liver Disease in Copenhagen, Denmark. view more (2009-04-23)
Researchers Uncover a Novel Mechanism of Action of a Potential New Drug for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have identified a unique mechanism of action of a new drug that shows great promise for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. view more (2006-10-12)
Protein finding could lead to treatment for inflammatory diseases
A protein that undesirably shields a skin poxvirus from the immune system may become the key ingredient in a new topical treatment for inflammatory diseases. view more (2006-01-12)
New therapeutic target identified for rheumatoid arthritis
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery have identified a potential new therapeutic target that could be used to treat inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2008-11-05)
Presence of gum disease may help dentists and physicians identify risk for cardiovascular disease
Individuals reporting a history of periodontal disease were more likely to have increased levels of inflammation, a risk factor for heart disease, compared to those who reported no history of periodontal disease. view more (2008-11-26)
International team identifies 21 new genetic risk factors for Crohn's disease
An international consortium of Crohn's disease researchers has combined data from three independent studies to identify 21 new genetic variants associated with the inflammatory bowel disorder, bringing the total number of risk factors to 32. view more (2008-06-30)
Penn State research shows withdrawal drug offers relief for Crohn's sufferers
A Penn State College of Medicine pilot study suggests that a drug used to ease symptoms of alcohol and drug addiction may also bring relief to people with Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory disorder of the intestine that affects an estimated 500,000 Americans. view more (2006-05-30)
Blockade of fat hormone helps halt and heal multiple sclerosis
Italian researchers have found that blockade of the hormone leptin, which is primarily produced in fats cells, has beneficial effects on the induction and progression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice - the animal model of human multiple sclerosis (MS). view more (2006-01-13)
New therapeutic targets in the treatment of ulcerative colitis
Social, environmental and dietary changes are associated with the changes of disease spectrum in a country. Ulcerative colitis has become a commonly seen disease in China, probably due to extensive consumption of Western foods in recent years. view more (2007-11-14)
Scientists find gene target that may protect against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
The discovery by a six-member Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Genetics Consortium of a genetic risk factor for IBD has been reported in Science Express, the online publication of the journal Science. view more (2006-10-27)
