“This is strong genetic evidence that suggests vitamin D supplementation may significantly lower risk of multiple sclerosis.”

“FTA:Researchers have identified the first genetic differences to explain why placebos help some patients -- and not others.”

“The algae particles were loaded with antibodies to specifically target cancer cells and chemo drugs to kill them without damaging normal cells”

“01:19:00 - How genetic and autoantibody studies highlight the importance of an early interferon response in avoiding a severe outcome. 01:28:25 - How a hot hydrotherapy protocol that anyone can use at home might stimulate our immune system.”

“This procedure of isolating a person's T-cells, genetically manipulating them, and transplanting back into person's body is called immunotherapy.”

“In experiments on mice, the stem cells were genetically engineered to produce and secrete toxins which kill brain tumors, without killing normal cells or themselves.”

“Interbreeding is less of a problem when the populations of wild salmon are higher. The question remains what this means for the hybrid offspring, which may not be as suited to survive in that environment and could possibly lead to a decline in overall survival and growth rates of "wild" salmon.”

“The infants were also given the standard of care chemotherapy along with the engineered T-cells but they previously failed to respond to chemo before the experimental treatment. This experiment treatment using engineered T-cells is known as CAR-T and initial phase I clinical trials are now underway.”

“By the year 2050, the number of centenarians – people who are 100 years or older – is expected to increase fivefold. Many factors promote centenarians' extraordinary longevity and likely involve the interaction of both lifestyle and genetic variables.”

“00:29:00 - An interesting clinical example of surprise mercury toxicity, possibly from diet and other factors, including genetic, associated with early mild cognitive impairment that was PET scan-positive for amyloid deposition.”
