As our bodies grow, cells proliferate to form tissues, and cells frequently have to be repaired or replaced throughout life. But the genome can also become less stable over time, or may pick up ...

Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have uncovered how chronic inflammation disrupts the immune ...

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 ...

First-responder cells launching the repair after a heart attack are so frantic about fixing the damage that they promote more inflammation than necessary, new research in mice suggests. Based on those ...

A study in Frontiers of Medicine uncovers a unique reparative function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the process of fracture healing, a discovery that adds a new dimension to our understanding of ...

Inflammation serves as the body’s natural defense mechanism against injuries and infections. However, when this protective response persists without resolution, it transforms from ally to adversary.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which commonly impacts the knees, hands, hips, neck and lower back. This is the first of two stories describing recent progress in understanding the ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...
