PANDEMIC FIGHT COSTS 500X MORE THAN PREVENTING ONE

The failure to protect tropical rainforests has cost trillions of dollars stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, according to new research. The pandemic has wreaked economic havoc and caused historic levels of unemployment in the United States and around the world. For decades, scientists and environmental activists have been trying to draw the world’s attention to...

Antioxidant cocktail key to preventing Alzheimer’s

Research from The University of Western Australia has found a diet rich in nutrients and antioxidants may prevent or even reverse the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. The study, published in Open Biology, found taking a combination of antioxidants at increasing doses was more beneficial at preventing the debilitating disease than any other treatment currently available....

Prostate cancer metastasis linked to revival of dormant molecular program

by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute When prostate cancer progresses to a more-dangerous metastatic state, it does so by resurrecting dormant molecular mechanisms that had guided the fetal development of the prostate gland but had been subsequently switched off, say scientists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The study, an international collaboration with The Netherlands Cancer Institute, was published...

New Drug Combo Shows Promise in Fight Against High Cholesterol

Adding certain drugs to your statin can reduce cholesterol levels better than taking a statin alone. Here, a Michigan Medicine doctor breaks it all down. If you’ve ever been diagnosed with high cholesterol, also known as hyperlipidemia, your doctor has probably prescribed a statin. And while statins have been the go-to drug for managing cholesterol...

Meat-eating boosts muscle health better than plant-based diet as we age, new study suggests

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER A meat-based diet is better for muscle health compared to plant-based proteins The King’s College London study also recommends eating both types of diet Vegans in the UK are therefore more likely to feel effects of ageing bodies Plant-based proteins will not boost muscle health as much as eating meat as...

Age-related impairments reversed in animal model

by University of Bern With age the frequency of adipose tissue eosinophils decreases gradually. This leads to the production of inflammatory mediators, which promote age-related impairments (e.g. frailty and immunosenescence). Eosinophil cell transfers increase the frequency of these cells in adipose tissue and dampen age-related chronic low-grade inflammation. This results in systemic rejuvenation of the...

The protein that stands between us and autoimmunity

by Osaka University Tet-mediated B cell tolerance Tet2/3-deficient B cells are activated by self-antigen and express exaggerated amount of CD86. Then those B cells stimulate autoreactive CD4+ T cells, resulting in autoimmune response. Credit: Osaka University The immune system is supposed to protect from external microbial invaders, but sometimes it turns its efforts inward, potentially...
