 | | | Periodontitis is a serious chronic inflammatory form of gum disease that affects millions worldwide. It can lead to tooth loss and the destruction of supporting bone. | | | | | Published in Current Molecular Pharmacology, a comprehensive review by Eman R. Al Sawy and colleagues from Cairo University consolidates evidence on the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) as a central amplifier of inflammatory responses. | | | | | Scripps Research scientists have developed a new class of drug compounds that reduce harmful inflammation while leaving the body's ability to fight infections intact-a long-sought goal in treating autoimmune diseases. | | | | | By comparing osteoarthritis pain pathways known to be active in dogs and humans to those in cats with degenerative joint disease (DJD), researchers found that elevation of a particular molecule, artemin, could serve as a marker of disease (and possibly pain) as well as a potential therapeutic target. | |
