Researchers investigating the genetics underlying the airway inflammation seen in severe asthma have, for the first time, discovered that proteins that bind to RNA are dysregulated, driving changes in gene expression in cells that line the airways.
-
A study has found that methotrexate, a widely available and affordable drug that’s usually prescribed as a first-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, is effective at reducing the pain and stiffness suffered by people with hand osteoarthritis.
-
New research has for the first time shown how inflammation in early childhood can affect brain development, triggering epigenetic changes in brain regions linked to higher cognitive functions, and play a role in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders.
-
When diagnosing type 2 diabetes, physicians can look for a range of typical symptoms such as frequent urination and excessive thirst. Now, researchers say the development of other illnesses in the body might need to be added in as a predictive tool.
-
Researchers have found that millions worldwide carry a gene variant that controls ‘explosive’ cell death and is linked to inflammation. They say it may explain why some people are prone to developing inflammatory diseases.
-
Researchers have called for a review of the recommendations for the treatment of hand arthritis, after a large study revealed that injections were as ineffective as a placebo for pain relief. Injections are considered the most effective pain reliever.
-
Researchers have found that an intranasal drug, currently being tested as an MS treatment, reduced brain inflammation and improved cognition in mice with Alzheimer’s disease, independent of the amount of beta-amyloid plaques present.

Around 1.6 million Americans live with inflammatory bowel disease, dealing with persistent and debilitating relapses. Scientists have identified how a specialized subset of T cells falter in flare-ups, and they may hold they key to long-term recovery.
-
A new study has found that people with ulcerative colitis who take cholesterol-lowering statins have less chance of developing colorectal cancer. The commonly drug could be used as a preventive for cancer in cases of inflammatory bowel disease.
-
A new study has identified the mechanism that makes CBD particularly effective at reducing inflammation. The discovery could lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of inflammatory diseases like asthma.
-
In an effort to find new treatments to halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease, scientists have landed on a molecule that can dial down the process that produces brain inflammation – something believed to be inextricably linked to cognitive decline.

When Captain Kirk stepped out with a tricorder in hand in Star Trek in 1966, the data sensing, scanning and analyzing gadget seemed a rather useful but far-in-the-future piece of technology. With the Swift Ray 1, we're a step closer to its reality.
