Watch nowHigher omega-3 fatty acid consumption could play a unique role in mitigating chronic inflammation by altering the methylation pattern of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) promoter, reducing the activity of this inflammatory cytokine. This epigenetic mechanism highlights omega-3's capacity to govern gene expression and shape the genetic landscape, transcending its contributions to cell membrane dynamics or mediator production and positioning its effects at the molecular blueprint level rather than merely fine-tuning cellular responses. The relationship between IL-6 and human health is multifaceted: Inte... omega-3 inflammation genetics
Read moreCancer is the second leading cause of death among people living in the United States, having claimed the lives of more than 600,000 people in 2020. Lifestyle behaviors, such as poor dietary habits, smoking, and physical inactivity, are key drivers of many cancers (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11095-008-9661-9). Findings from a recent study suggest that more than 46,000 cancer deaths could be prevented every year if people met current physical activity guidelines. Physical activity is a broad term that describes both daily activities, such as gardening, doing household chores, or... exercise cancer
Read morePeripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate following trauma, surgery, and exposure to medications and toxins; however, the rate of regeneration is often very slow. The molecular signals that encourage regeneration dissipate over time so that regeneration ends too soon to effectively heal long nerves. Authors of a new report elucidate the role of monocarboxylate transporters and macrophage metabolism is promoting nerve regeneration. Macrophages (Greek for "large eaters") are white blood cells that remove pathogens and cellular debris by engulfing and digesting them, making macrophages ess... immune system lactate
Read moreRoughly half of the world's population lives in urban areas, far removed from the natural environment. Evidence indicates that people who live in urban areas are at greater risk for mental health disorders, such as depression. Findings from a new study suggest that walking in nature reduces ruminative thinking and decreases activity in parts of the brain associated with mental illness. Ruminative thinking – dwelling on ideas (especially stressors) to excess – is a common feature of mental illness (https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2000-05424-015). Rumination can set in motion a cascade of hormon... brain mental health
