Scientists pinpoint potential new target for regulating inflammation

The scientists discovered that an ancient protein (SARM) is a key regulator of inflammasomes — tiny molecular machines that initiate the inflammatory response. If they can successfully target SARM, they may be able to better control the inflammation that is a factor in a host of diseases including diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s.
