- 1OHSU turns to vagus nerve bioelectric medicine for stroke and arthritis▼OHSU uses bioelectric medicine in vagus nerve to help patients heal from stroke, arthritis
Oregon Health & Science University is using bioelectric medicine that stimulates the vagus nerve to help patients recover from stroke and arthritis. The approach taps the nervous system's role in regulating inflammation and healing, offering a possible alternative to drug-based treatment for conditions that are often difficult to treat.
- 2Augusta University researcher details neutrophils' shape-shifting behavior in new review▼IMMCG researcher highlights neutrophils’ ‘chameleon’ behavior in new review
A researcher at Augusta University's IMMCG has published a new review examining how neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, behave like 'chameleons' — adapting their roles in the immune system in ways that complicate research and treatment. The paper gathers current findings on the cells' versatile and sometimes contradictory functions in infection, inflammation and disease.
- 3Johns Hopkins All Children's Researchers Find Genome-Level Inflammation Checkpoint●Johns Hopkins All Children's Researchers Uncover Genome-Level Checkpoint That Controls Inflammation
Researchers at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital report the discovery of a genome-level checkpoint that controls inflammation. According to the announcement from Johns Hopkins Medicine, the finding identifies a regulatory mechanism operating across the genome that governs the body's inflammatory response. The work is being noted in science and health circles, with observers highlighting its potential relevance to understanding and eventually treating inflammatory conditions, though detailed findings and clinical implications have not yet been broadly discussed.
