“A recent study found that after 10 weeks of cardiovascular exercise combined with a vocabulary learning task, participants who exhibited larger increases in immune system signaling molecules also experienced stronger short-term learning improvements.”

“The stem cells were made from skin cells from one monkey which was generated into cardiac cells and transplanted to another monkey with a damaged heart. The transplanted cells improved the heart’s ability to contract after an induced heart attack and integrated with no sign of immune rejection by the recipient’s immune system.”

“gondii into a tumor environment can jump start the immune system. > "The biology of this organism is inherently different from other microbe-based immunotherapeutic strategies that typically just tickle immune cells from the outside," said Barbara Fox, senior research associate of Microbiology and Immunology.”

“Type 1 diabetes risk is greatly increased in mice that were given three courses of antibiotics during early life and were already genetically predisposed to the autoimmune disease. The antibiotic treatment also caused disturbances in the microbiome and changed the immune system leading to decreased numbers of specialized T cells that prevent an autoimmune response.”

“"The blood test included a selection of 15 measures of immune and hormonal system imbalances as well as evidence of oxidative stress," explained a corresponding author of the study.”

“Neither a cure nor prevention, these small strategies might bolster our immune system, improving our odds against this and other illnesses. We owe a special thank you to our members, as well as The Film Collaborative for financially participating in the intensive production work associated with this episode.”

“The pivotal role fiber plays in fueling good bacteria in the gut that act like "miniature drug factories" which produce compounds that regulate the immune system by increasing the number of T regulatory cells, which are specialized types of immune cells that keep the immune system in check and prevent autoimmune responses.”

“Study: Voluntary activation of the sympathetic nervous system and attenuation of the innate immune response in humans. "Factors from inflammatory reactions will affect your mind, and your mind will affect your immune system." - Dr. Pierre Capel.”

“An infant's immune system is the last of the biological systems to develop, taking months or even years to match that of an adult's capacity for defense. Breast milk contains a multitude of components that work together synergistically to provide a compensatory immune "system" that confers both passive and active immunity.”

“The surprising role of the immune system The immune system plays a surprising role in regulating sleep through somnogenic cytokines, such as immune factors IL-1B and TNF-alpha, released in response to heat stress and exercise.”
