Extracellular vesicles from liver cells can elicit a 'lipid counterstorm' that counters the effects of cytokine storms in mice. The treatment shows promise for treating inflammatory conditions such as sepsis, coagulopathy and colitis.
Researchers have discovered a new subtype of foam cells that form in early atherosclerosis, driven by mechanical stacking stress. These coralthelial cells promote inflammation and accelerate lesion development. The study offers promising therapeutic targets and novel prevention strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Researchers found that running high-intensity interval training (HIIT) triggers a more inflammatory immune response than cycling HIIT. Cycling produced a similar anti-inflammatory effect compared to running, suggesting it could be used in exercise programs to achieve beneficial effects without tissue damage.
Researchers have created lab-grown human skin organoids that can form complex microvascular networks similar to those in native human skin. These self-organizing structures function similarly to native skin, responding to inflammatory stimuli and re-growing after injury.
Salk Institute scientists discover that dietary supplementation of the amino acid methionine protects infected mice against inflammation-related wasting, blood-brain barrier dysfunction, and death. Methionine boosts kidney filtration, reducing circulating cytokine levels and improving disease outcomes.
Researchers found that mice lacking the G900 region exhibit reduced inflammatory response and suppressed Th2 differentiation when exposed to allergens. This discovery highlights the importance of the G900 gene enhancer in regulating immune responses and has implications for personalized treatments and asthma care.
Researchers found significantly higher levels of IL-18 expression in osteoarthritis patients and cells compared to healthy controls. IL-17 promoted IL-18 production through the MEK/ERK/miR-4492 axis, indicating potential therapeutic targets for OA treatment.
The study found that black soldier fly larvae oil exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, suppressing proinflammatory cytokines and improving colon health. BSFL oil's unique compound profile may offer a new approach to managing inflammatory diseases.
Researchers from Osaka University found that fibroblasts in cholesteatoma tissues express activin A, a protein causing local bone erosion. This discovery may lead to new treatments for managing cholesteatomas.
A new strategy for treating rheumatoid arthritis has been proposed, integrating small interfering RNAs and Prussian blue nanoparticles to silence proinflammatory cytokines and scavenge reactive oxygen species. The approach was tested in a mouse model, showing improved therapeutic efficacy and real-time monitoring capabilities.
A team of researchers found that two SARS-CoV-2 proteins, NSP6 and ORF7a, are essential for activating the NF-κB pathway, leading to elevated cytokine levels. The study suggests that targeting this pathway may offer a strategy to stop the virus.
A study of 80 people shows that prenatal exposure to proinflammatory cytokines is associated with different responses to stressful stimuli in adults. Women prenatally exposed to cytokines have altered brain activity and connectivity compared to men.
A study found that long-term caregivers experienced a rapid increase in proinflammatory cytokine levels, which continued even after the care recipient died. The research suggests that chronic stress can prematurely age the immune response and contribute to various age-related diseases.
