Colchicine: Heart Attack & Stroke Prevention?
Colchicine, a gout drug, may prevent heart attacks and strokes. Trials show risk reduction with low doses. More research is needed to confirm benefits and address remaining questions.
Endurance Training: Enhancing Immunity & Reducing Inflammation in Older Adults
Long-lasting endurance training boosts the immune system in older adults by enhancing NK cell function, reducing inflammation, and improving metabolic control. Exercise combats cellular aging.
Alzheimer’s Research: Therapies, Challenges & Future
Alzheimer's research is at a critical point with initial therapies emerging, but more efficient drugs are needed. Research focuses on early treatments, inflammation's role, and overcoming funding challenges. Biomarkers are vital.
Seed Oils & Health: Linoleic Acid Linked to Lower Inflammation
Study shows higher linoleic acid (omega-6 fat in seed oils) is linked to lower inflammation and better cardiometabolic health, challenging claims that seed oils are harmful.
Sleep Deprivation & Heart Health: Risks and Research
Research shows sleep deprivation increases heart disease risk by affecting biomarkers & inflammation, even in young, healthy individuals. Exercise helps, but can't replace sleep.
Spastic Paraplegia: Immune System’s Role in Brain Degeneration
Research reveals immune system over-activation in spastic paraplegia type 15. Microglia changes and killer T-cells contribute to neuronal damage, suggesting potential immune-based therapies for this neurodegenerative disease.
