“Furthermore, where we lose pericytes - which are important for dementia prevention - overlaps with the loss of DHA transporters. In this clip, Dr. Axel Montagne discusses how the brain transport of omega-3 DHA may be important for the prevention and possibly as a therapy for dementia.”

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may provide protection against chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, and may be useful in treating the symptoms of mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or autism, especially in developing countries.”

“In this Aliquot, clinical psychologist Dr. Ashley Mason and sleep expert Dr. Matt Walker describe some of the behaviors that can make getting a good night's sleep difficult – and how cognitive behavioral therapy and meditation can provide help.”

“Inflammatory markers, such as cytokines, are elevated in people with depression. Investigators observed that a subset of patients treated for hepatitis C using repeated doses of interferon-alpha, which stimulates inflammation, developed depression.”

“Mitophagy also plays roles in metabolic adaptation and development. In this clip, Dr. Guido Kroemer describes mitophagy, a cellular signal for mitochondrial biogenesis and a key player in other physiological processes.”

“But as a child reaches toddlerhood and can begin to sleep long periods overnight, implementing regular eating and sleeping patterns is important in order to set the child up for optimal health in later life. In this clip, Dr. Satchin Panda describes the maturation schedule of the body's circadian clocks and makes recommendations about when to start time-restricted eating in children.”

“Clinical trials to evaluate a fasting-mimicking diet during chemotherapy have been proceeding slower than expected due to the development of food aversions, which can occur when foods are presented along with toxic chemotherapeutic agents and often reduce dietary compliance.”

“Dr. Schoenfeld says the situation is likely more complex and nuanced. For example, a marathon runner will have difficulty with hypertrophy, probably due to overtraining rather than intracellular signaling negatively affecting muscle development.”

“A single night of poor sleep can impair natural killer cells' activity by as much as 70 percent. In the short term, this can put us at risk for developing acute illnesses like colds and flu, but in the long term, it increases our risk for much more serious threats, such as cancer.”

“Instead, they have the potential to become specialized cells, such as muscle, blood, or brain cells. Human breast milk contains mammary stem cells – precursor cells from the mother that may help establish organs like the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and brain, a phenomenon known as microchimerism.”
