    Countering Post-operative Wound Inflammation with Trypsin-Bromelain-Rutoside Combination

    Countering Post-operative Wound Inflammation with Trypsin-Bromelain-Rutoside Combination

    It has been well established that Systemic enzyme therapy (SET) aids better and faster healing when compared to usual anti-inflammatory drugs like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid analgesics. Recently, SET with trypsin (serine protease), bromelain (cysteine protease) and rutoside (bioflavinoid) combination have gained popularity as a treatment for pain and inflammation.[1] Given the above […] More

    Air Pollution May Drive Lung Cancer via Inflammation

    Air Pollution May Drive Lung Cancer via Inflammation

    Researchers have concluded that airborne fine particulate matter, which has been consistently linked to cancer, promotes lung cancer via inflammation and not necessarily via mutagenesis [1]. Not just mutations Common wisdom says that carcinogens increase cancer risk mostly by promoting oncogenic mutations. Research has reported that this is true for some carcinogens, such as tobacco […] More

    Reducing Axonal Death and Inflammation in Mouse Brains

    Reducing Axonal Death and Inflammation in Mouse Brains

    Researchers have published a study in Aging Cell on how inhibiting the death of axons in the brain protects the brains of old mice from inflammation. Necroptosis in the brain It is well-known that aged organisms have problems with cognitive function, and this is strongly linked to losses in the number and availability of synapses […] More
