Brief description Infection and tissue damage provoke acute inflammatory responses that sometimes continue unchecked, leading to different kinds of debilitating inflammatory diseases and cancers. We have discovered a new class of drugs that bind to a new target on human cells and block undesirable prolonged inflammatory responses. This project tests a new strategy to produce 'cleaner' drugs that act more selectively with fewer side effects against a new target in the treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, diet-induced obesity and cancers.
