Reports a human-based study identifying a natural pathway that limits inflammation by shifting monocyte fate and speeding pain resolution after induced inflammation.

Scientists discover a hidden switch that shuts down inflammation
Key Takeaways
  • Blocking soluble epoxide hydrolase increased epoxy-oxylipin levels and accelerated pain resolution in treated volunteers.
  • Treatment sharply reduced intermediate monocyte numbers in blood and tissue, cells linked to persistent inflammation.
  • Findings were confirmed in lab experiments and with a p38 blocker, supporting a conserved mechanism across models.
