Studies in fish and mice found genome-wide changes in the gene expression of patterns in the skin, brains and liver following exposure to white fluorescent light. Both the skin and brains exhibited increased inflammation and immune response following exposure.
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation reduces inflammation and improves symptoms for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The simulation technique helps inhibit the production of cytokines and reduces inflammatory response.
Researchers at UT Southwestern report medications used to treat arthritis and lung cancer may help in the battle against glioblastoma.
Researchers link obsessive behaviors in frontotemporal dementia to immune pathways and suggest targeting the immune system could be a new strategy for the treatment of FTD.
A new study reports astrocytes may be a driving force behind a number of neurodegenerative diseases.
A new study reports 20 minutes of moderate exercise can act as an anti-inflammatory. The findings could be beneficial for those with inflammatory diseases such as fibromyalgia and arthritis.
Researchers investigate the effects of altered spinal astrocytic Cx43 expression and pain-related behavior following peripheral nerve injury.
A new study reports an experimental anti inflammatory drug can protect neurons and reduce motor deficits in rat models of Parkinson's disease.
The biological role of a gene variant implicated in multiple sclerosis (MS) has been determined by researchers at Oxford University. The researchers investigated one particular genetic variant - found in a gene called TNFRSF1A - which has previously been associated with the risk of developing MS.
