In a new paper in Cell Reports, researchers have named a little-known lipid as a core reason why inflammation decreases with fasting and may also shed light on how non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work. Why high-calorie diets increase inflammation Previous research has identified the core reason why a high-calorie diet leads to inflammation. Excessive amounts...

A team of Chinese researchers has outlined the cellular link between age-related inflammation (inflammaging) and the physical aging of heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes). NLRP3 and why it matters We have previously discussed the NLRP3 inflammasome, which releases inflammatory cytokines upon exposure to irritants [1], including reactive oxygen species (ROS) [2]. The researchers hypothesized that ROS,...
