Medical researchers from the University of Queensland have discovered a way to control and reduce inflammation caused by a range of diseases.
The team of scientists have learned how inflammation processes effectively ‘switch off’ in healthy cells, and are attempting to apply that knowledge to to manually halt the process of inflammation when it occurs.
Researcher for UQ’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience Associate Professor Kate Schroder says the information could be key to stopping inflammation caused by gout, liver cirrhosis and Alzheimer’s
