Regulating inflammation—ensuring that the body doesn't generate too much of a good thing—is a flourishing area of study at Northwestern.

He paused to highlight the residual inflammatory risk that exists for some patients even after low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is maximally treated, putting these patients at elevated CV ...

Researchers identified a direct connection between cancer-related inflammation and the loss of motivation characteristic of advanced cancer. In a mouse study, they describe a brain pathway that ...

Next, we aim to further examine the impact of statins in preventing cancer development in chronic inflammation in liver and gastrointestinal tract and to identify other novel, therapeutic ...

Researchers have identified a molecule that plays a key role in the body’s inflammatory response to overeating, which can lead to metabolic diseases.

For centuries, Western scientists have been trying to figure out how acupuncture works. A new study pinpoints how electroacupuncture lowers inflammation via the vagal-adrenal axis.

Proteomic pathway analysis identified the Fas pathway and caspase network proteins, leading us to hypothesize that inflammation enhances MDSC accumulation by increasing MDSC resistance to Fas-mediated ...

Researchers have identified several steps in the pathway that triggers the production of interleukin-1 beta, a key cytokine involved in the inflammatory response. Inflammation is an essential part of ...

This pathway senses inflammation and actively suppresses dopamine — a key driver of motivation — resulting in apathy and loss of drive.
