Moreover, fetal cells can migrate throughout the body, especially in response to inflammation and other signs of biological distress.

These same individuals also showed biological signs of accelerated aging, including increased inflammation and a reduced lifespan.

When the inflammatory type dominates, the result is persistent inflammation that damages the intestinal wall and causes pain and other symptoms.

"The CT portion provides detailed anatomy, while the PET portion reveals metabolic activity in tissues. Using both imaging techniques together allows for the measurement of brain stress activity and arterial inflammation in a single scan."

Researchers also observed signs of immune system involvement and inflammation pathways, suggesting potential biological targets for future therapies.
