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.
Dopamine may play a role in activating immune cells to migrate in the early stages of infection.
M2 macrophages can produce various endogenous opioids, such as endorphins, enkephalin, and dynorphin, which activate opioid receptors at the site of inflammation.
MRC1+ macrophages are dysfunctional in animal models of neuropathic pain. Stimulating the expression of the anti-inflammatory protein CD163 reduced signs of neuroinflammation in the spinal cords of mice with neuropathic pain.
Study identifies a significant way in which a disrupted circadian clock drives inflammation in the body's immune cells.
New findings reveal phagocytes do not fully mature until after birth, contradicting previous assumptions that they mature during embryonic development.
