Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more than twice as likely to have a food allergy.
“Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more than twice as likely to have a food allergy. The association between food allergy and ASD are stronger than the association of respiratory or skin allergy with ASD.”

16 different types of cancer linked to obesity. Some types of fat secrete more substances that promote cancer growth.
“For example, white adipose tissue has been associated with inflammation, and in breast cancer patients, has been associated with worse prognosis. Fat exists both under the skin and deeper inside the body surrounding internal organs (called visceral fat).”

Device containing antibodies against the toxic amyloid-beta protein was implanted under the skin causing immune cells to destroy brain amyloid plaques
“Amyloid-beta forms plaques in the brain and disrupts the synapses between neurons which can play a role in memory loss. Amyloid-beta aggregates are associated with Alzheimer's disease.”

Dr. Luc van Loon: Optimizing Protein Intake & Distribution for Muscle Growth
“As such, dietary collagen may not be diverted to muscle proteins but instead appear in collagen-rich tissues such as bone, ligaments, and cartilage—which are up to 80% collagen. Indeed, there’s evidence to support that dietary collagen is integrated into cartilage and joints and may improve skin elasticity and hydration.”

Exercise counteracts the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.
“Sarcoplasmic protein synthesis and skin temperature fluctuate in a diurnal manner due to circadian rhythms, which are altered with poor sleep. The men who experienced sleep restriction had reduced glucose tolerance and mitochondrial function.”

People with tattoos have a 21% increased risk of malignant lymphoma, with laser tattoo removal further amplifying the risk to 163%.
“These findings point to potential links between tattoos and an increased risk of lymphoma. The tattooing process involves injecting ink into the skin through repeated punctures, breaching the skin’s protective barrier and triggering an immune response.”

Japanese man received 'reprogrammed' stem cells from another person and they slowed the progression of macular degeneration.
“Skin cells from a donor were reprogrammed to become stem cells and then turned into a certain type of retinal cell that was transplanted onto the retina of the patient who has age-related macular degeneration. So far the man's vision has not declined which means it might be working.”

Noninvasive stimulation of facial lymphatic vessels doubles cerebrospinal fluid outflow, enhancing the glymphatic system's clearance of brain waste, even in aged mice.
“Then, using a small mechanical device, they gently compressed the animals' skin in three areas: from around the eyes down to the jaw; from the side of the nose down to the jaw; and along specific lymphatic vessels leading to a lymph node under the jaw.”
