Body’s Natural Brake on Inflammation | Science News

Scientists in London uncovered a natural immune brake: tiny fat molecules called epoxy-oxylipins that shut down harmful inflammation. These molecules stop overactive white blood cells from prolonging inflammation, which is linked to arthritis and heart disease. In a trial, volunteers given a drug that preserved these molecules saw faster pain relief and fewer damaging immune cells — without affecting visible signs like redness. This breakthrough could lead to safer anti-inflammatory treatments that enhance the body’s own defenses instead of weakening the whole immune system.
