A recent study has shown that inflammation can create fertile ground for cancer to develop.
Inflammation, Heart Risk can be Caused by Chronic Inhalation of Polluted Air
Chronic inhalation of polluted air triggers the release of white blood cells that leads to inflammation and risk of heart disease, a study has suggested.
Chronic inhalation of polluted air triggers the release of white blood cells that leads to inflammation and risk of heart disease, a study has suggested.
This, in turn, causes a drop in levels of proteins involved in DNA repair, resulting in a higher rate of spontaneous gene mutations, which can lead to cancer.
"People have suspected for some time that inflammation plays an important role in cancer, and our study presents a molecular mechanism that explains how it happens," said first author and post-doctoral researcher Esmerina Tili.iR-155 is known to influence blood-cell maturation, immune responses and autoimmune disorders, and high levels of this molecule have been directly linked to the development of leukaemia, breast, lung and gastric cancers.
