Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute have found the type of inflammation usually treated with NSAIDs is controlled by different enzymes in different parts of the body, according to an institute news release.
The researchers discovered this while testing a new kind of pain-relieving drug on mice. The results could lead to the development of anti-inflammatory drugs that are tissue-specific and don't have NSAIDs' side effects.
