Role of gut bacteria in averting Type 1 diabetes

Running may not only help your body fight inflammation, but the reduced inflammation also makes you a stronger runner

The connection between exercise and inflammation has captivated the imagination of researchers ever since an early 20th-century study showed a spike of white cells in the blood of Boston marathon runners following the race.

The study is an important step toward detailing the cellular and molecular changes that occur during exercise and confer health benefits.

Beyond just warding off inflammation, the research proposes that Tregs might play a central role in the numerous health benefits of exercise.

The beneficial effects of exercise may be driven, at least partly, by the immune system, new research has shown.The Harvard Medical School (HMS) study, done in mice, suggested that muscle inflammation caused by exertion mobilises ...

The benefits of exercising may partly be due to the way that being active enhances the immune system, scientists have suggested.

Regulatory T cells prevent excessive muscle inflammation during and after physical activity by suppressing production of a pro-inflammatory messenger protein.

Researchers say findings from their study underscore the importance of "judicious antibiotic use" for reasons that extend beyond muscle recovery.

A Harvard-led study shows that the gut microbiota acts as the training camp for a class of immune cells that are recruited to heal muscle injury.
