“Removing the appendix early in life was associated with a 19-25% reduced risk of developing Parkinson's disease. The appendix plays a role in the immune system and the gut microbiome and now has been linked to the protein aggregates ( called alpha-synuclein) found in Parkinson's.”

“[...] > Researchers found that BDNF clearly boosted the number of tumour cells killed by chemotherapy. Patients with severe depression had lower levels of the protein in the blood so their bodies were not as effective at fighting cancer.”

“H. erinaceus treatment significantly reduced the expression of both proteins, though their concentrations remained higher than those in unstressed mice. A clinical study of 77 people evaluated the effects of H.”

“This preliminary study was done in mice and showed that the DNA-based bionanorobots could latch onto vascular cells at the tumor site and release a protein (called thrombin) that causes extensive blood clots in the blood vessels of tumors vessels but does not cause clotting elsewhere in the animals.”

“The diet-related inflammatory index has previously been shown to be highest with a Western-type diet, which is high in sugar intake, fried foods, high-fat dairy products, and refined grains. It has been shown to be associated with higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein and IL-6.”

“Learn more in our article. Aerobic exercise: Aerobic exercise helps maintain healthy blood pressure. Having high blood pressure can compromise the blood-brain barrier, allowing harmful substances, such as amyloid proteins, to enter the brain.”

Zinc is an essential nutrient that influences growth and development and plays critical roles in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division.

“The bacterium can also interfere with one of the steps involved in xenophagy, ultimately impairing the body's immune response. Similarly, human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, reduces cellular levels of key proteins involved in xenophagy induction.”

“Intriguingly, as the FIGGs formed, amyloid precursor proteins accumulated within the periphery and amyloid beta molecules built up around yeast cells captured at the center of FIGGs. These amyloid molecules are typically found in plaques that are the trademark of Alzheimer's disease.”

“Antibodies are proteins that identify pathogens for destruction by the immune system. They arise from different cell lineages and bind to multiple epitopes – regions on viral proteins to which immune cells bind to drive a targeted immune response.”
