“Antibodies that destroy myelin in multiple sclerosis may cross-react with casein, a milk protein. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative and autoimmune disease caused when the immune system attacks myelin proteins on nerves, mistaking them for proteins produced by pathogens.”

“01:03:05 - pH alters the microbial makeup of the gut, which affects the immune system. 01:07:50 - Cancer cells acquire the ability to generate energy from glucose, but even in the absence of glucose they can grow if glutamine is present.”

“Conversely, Treg cells produce IL‐10, an anti-inflammatory protein, to reduce inflammation and impair disease progression. The authors of the study used an in vitro cell culture system to assess the effects of pterostilbene and related compounds on immune cell response.”

“Following SARS-CoV-2 infection, the immune system produces antibodies specific for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that prevent reinfection. However, research from early in the COVID-19 pandemic reported a rapid loss of these antibodies a few months after infection.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that a high-fat diet promotes the activity of plasmacytoid dendritic cells, a type of immune cell. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells, also known as natural interferon-producing cells, are critical components of both the innate and adaptive immune response.”

“Many liver disorders cause behavioral symptoms, often referred to as sickness behaviors, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, and "brain fog." Evidence suggests that these symptoms arise from alterations in the central nervous system, but scientists don't fully understand what drives them.”

“Nevertheless, the findings add to our understanding of how regular exercise supports overall health, including immune function. In Episode #99, I was joined by Dr. Kerry Courneya to explore the remarkable science of exercise oncology, including how exercise mobilizes immune cells to help recognize and attack tumors.”

“They also shape the immune system and have been shown to protect against obesity. This is an awesome area of research, and, as you might've expected, not something that has yet been replicated in infant formula.”

“Dr. Charles Raison on Depression, the Immune-Brain Interface & Whole-Body Hyperthermia. Valter Longo. Valter Longo, Ph.D. on the Fasting-Mimicking Diet & Fasting for Longevity, Cancer & Multiple Sclerosis.”

“The human immune system loses function with age in a process known as immunosenescence. Previous research has reported on the ability of a number of drugs to impact the aging process; however, these studies have not measured the ability to reverse epigenetic aging.”
