The idea that inflammation—constant, low-level, immune-system activation —could be at the root of chronic diseases such as cancer, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, and even depression is a bold claim. Until relatively recently, this claim was met with skepticism in labs and lecture halls. Can unconnected illnesses of different organs and body parts really share a biological link? Researchers in molecular biology have been compiling evidence that many chronic conditions are triggered by the immune system’s inflammatory response...
