A new human study has uncovered how the body naturally turns off inflammation. Researchers found that fat-derived molecules called epoxy-oxylipins rein in immune cells that can otherwise drive chronic ...

Researchers have uncovered changes in the cellular response throughout lung damage caused by SARS-CoV-2—the virus behind COVID-19. The team revealed distinct phases where waves of immune responses ...

Chronic inflammation is both a driver and suppressor of cancer depending on context. Key players-NF-κB, IL-6, STAT3, TAMs, MDSCs, and Tregs-orchestrate a tumor-permissive microenvironment.

Macrophages—or “big eaters”—are exactly what they sound like. These immune cells roam our bodies hunting down infections, cancers, or injuries. When they detect a target, the cells release a calvary ...

Typically, doctors prescribe medications to combat excessive inflammation. However, a new study reports that a single 20-minute bout of moderate exercise can stimulate the immune system in a way that ...

Americans are drinking less than they have in decades. But a new study on mice shows even one bottomless brunch may shrink the small intestine’s nutrient-absorbing surface and spark inflammation that ...

Certain protein sources, such as fatty fish, beans and lentils, and fermented dairy products, may help reduce inflammation.
