Researchers from Royal Children's Hospital, the University of Melbourne and affiliated organizations published data from a study that aimed to investigate the potential of benfotiamine, which is a lipid soluble precursor to thiamine, for the treatment of inflammation related dystrophic pathology in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
High weight is associated with a greater risk of developing many cancers, and with an increased risk of metastasis. But in some cancers such as renal cell carcinoma, it is also associated with better survival and a better response to immunotherapies in particular.

Excessive inflammatory response and endothelial barrier dysfunction are the two major pathophysiological changes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Sphingosine-1-phosphate S1P3 receptor (S1PR3) is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in the regulation of inflammation and vascular barrier function in some diseases, but its function in ARDS is not fully understood.
In what represents its first patenting, Austin, Texas-based Slipstream Solutions LLC is seeking protection for systems and methods for treating fluid stasis (e.g., edema) that employ an airstream to move static fluid to natural drainage areas such as lymph nodes or ducts.
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago and University of Arizona presented the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel BD1-selective BET inhibitor, XL-126, being developed as a potential anti-inflammatory agent.
To Steve Hyman, the manual that clinicians currently use to diagnose mental disorders is an active obstacle to getting a scientific understanding of those disorders. Hyman, who is director of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute, MIT and Harvard, and a former director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), listed multiple weaknesses of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), whose diagnoses, he said, are “arbitrary, rigid, life-stage and context-insensitive,” as well as blind to the fact that mental disorders exist along a continuum.
Noise-induced hearing loss is still the most common cause of acquired hearing loss nowadays. The mechanisms behind this may be explained through inflammatory responses in the cochlea after acoustic trauma.
