The link between long‑term gut inflammation and colorectal cancer is clear, but the focus has usually been on DNA changes in the lining cells. Recent research shows that the surrounding support cells, called fibroblasts, play a much bigger part than previously thought. These cells build the structur
Patients with autoimmune conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis face a noticeably higher chance of developing cancer within the first year after their diagnosis. Italian researchers studied more than 356, 000 people and found a 32 % rise in cancer odds during that early period.
Studies of animals and cells reveal that ginsenosides, the active ingredients in ginseng, can protect nerves after a spinal cord injury. Researchers searched many scientific databases and found 22 studies that met strict criteria. The research covered both living animals and lab-grown cells, giving
Scientists have found that a special kind of inflammation, called metaflammation, connects heart problems with hormone disorders. This new view helps explain why people with diabetes often also get heart disease. Researchers searched medical databases for papers from 2010 to 2024. They found over t
Sleep apnea is a common condition that affects many people. It causes breathing to stop and start during sleep. This can lead to inflammation in the blood vessels. Doctors often use a machine called CPAP to help people with sleep apnea breathe better at night. But does this treatment help everyone e
Chronic inflammation is a quiet enemy that can lead to heart disease, diabetes and cancer. It grows when we eat too much sugar, processed meat or fried food and when we stay overweight or stressed. Scientists first noticed that long‑term irritation could cause disease back in the 1800s. Today they
Researchers found that a specific protein, Adamts5, plays a big role in muscle healing. When this protein is missing, muscles don't heal as well after an injury. This is because the protein helps control inflammation and scarring, which are important for muscle repair. In an experiment, scientists
Asthma is a tricky condition. For a long time, scientists thought they knew what caused the inflammation in the lungs. They blamed leukotrienes, chemicals made by white blood cells. But now, a new discovery might change everything. Researchers found something unexpected. There are other molecules,
Asthma is more than just tight airways. It's a disease driven by inflammation. Modern treatments are shifting focus. They now target the root cause, not just symptoms. Combination inhalers are leading the way. These inhalers pair anti-inflammatory meds with bronchodilators. This approach offers bett
Scientists have found that a substance called l-malic acid (l-MA) can help a good gut bacteria, Bifidobacterium breve Bb18 (Bb18), survive better in harsh conditions. This could be a big deal for people with gut inflammation. In lab tests, they discovered that adding 0. 4% l-MA made Bb18 much stron
