“Human skin cells were reprogrammed into stem cells that were ultimately able to form mini-organs that were functional and connected to each other including a human liver, pancreas, and biliary ducts. This is a major advance in the field of organoid development that may lead to transplantable tissues grown in labs.”

“The chronic inflammation that accompanies ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease, increases the risk of developing colon cancer. New research in mice suggests a component of cannabis may prevent the development of colitis-associated colon cancer.”

“More than 200 vaccine candidates for COVID-19 are currently in development, employing a wide range of vaccine technologies. Findings from a new study demonstrate that a measles-based vector vaccine may be effective against COVID-19.”

“Germ-free mice, which are born and raised in a sterile environment, demonstrate impaired brain development compared to mice with a normal gut microbiota. This suggests that microbiota composition in early life may impact cognitive function in adulthood.”

“Other cellular factors involved in SARS-CoV-2 entry include transmembrane serine protease 2, transferrin receptor, and neuropilin 1. Neuropilin 1 participates in pain sensing and angiogenesis (the development of new blood vessels) and is a receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor-A.”

“Other diseases, such as influenza, have short serial intervals, which contributes to their spread. The authors of the study reviewed 468 COVID-19 reports of disease transmission that occurred during a three-week period in mainland China, outside of Hubei Province.”

“Interestingly, low solar angle light – as in the early morning or late evening – resets the body's circadian rhythms, improving metabolic health and mood. Learn more about low solar angle light exposure in this episode featuring Dr. Andrew Huberman.”

“Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in aging and the development of Alzheimer's disease. Exercise may improve mitochondrial function by releasing exerkines—molecules produced during physical activity that support mitochondrial health and enhance cell communication.”

“The data revealed that participants who tested positive for COVID-19 took longer to return to their baseline resting heart rate, activity levels, and sleep quantity than those who did not.”

“FTA: > Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a substantially increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease in older people, according to the most robust study of its kind ever conducted. An international team found that study participants who were severely vitamin D deficient were more than twice as likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer's disease.”
