M2 macrophages can produce various endogenous opioids, such as endorphins, enkephalin, and dynorphin, which activate opioid receptors at the site of inflammation.
PTEN deficiency drives an increased expression of LOX. LOX attracts macrophages which protect gliobastoma brain cancer cells and provide growth factor support for the tumor, a new mouse study reveals.
Parkinson’s Disease Damaged Neurons Learn to Heal Themselves with Help of Modified White Blood Cells
Researchers have genetically modified white blood cells to produce GDNF and deliver it to the brain, a new study reports.
Study identifies a significant way in which a disrupted circadian clock drives inflammation in the body's immune cells.
Using nanoparticles, researchers have discovered a way to target difficult to reach cancers.
According to new research, the spleen could be a target for treating stroke induced chronic inflammation which leads to further brain cell death.
Researchers investigate whether they can mobilize the immune system to help in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have discovered a method to engraft immune cells in the brains of lab mice without the use of radiation.
A new study reports stem cell treatments given one day following spinal cord injury can help prevent certain immune responses that can lead to the loss of bodily functions.
Whole-body vibration (WBV) therapy may be a way in which inflammation associated with diabetes can be controlled. WBV alters the microbiome, increasing levels of a bacterium that creates short-chain fatty acids, which help the body to better use glucose.
A new study tracks, in real time, how Cryptococcal meningitis invades the brain.
The 'shock and kill' therapeutic strategy for treating HIV could potentially cause harmful neuroinflammation, a new study reveals.
