“The investigators examined autopsy-derived brain tissues from 203 subjects living in Mexico City, ranging in age from 11 months to 40 years, to identify the presence of amyloid-beta plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles.”

“These antioxidant compounds eventually end up in the urine, which is temporarily stored in the bladder prior to elimination, providing a unique environment in which to study the effects of sulforaphane and its metabolic byproducts on bladder tissue.”

“This exploits the inability of cancer cells to adapt to extreme environments. In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo describes the origins of the fasting-mimicking diet and explains how it enhances chemotherapeutic treatments.”

“Melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle in mammals, is regulated by exposure to light. Decreasing the amount of light in our environment – especially the blue light from the various screens that surround us – is crucial for a good night's sleep.”

“These antioxidant compounds eventually end up in the urine, which is temporarily stored in the bladder prior to elimination, providing a unique environment in which to study the effects of sulforaphane and its metabolic byproducts on bladder tissue.”

“Consuming caffeine and exercising too close to habitual bedtime can impact one's ability to sleep. Designing a sleeping environment with an optimal temperature that eliminates light, noise, and electronic devices may improve sleep quality.”

“In later stage cancer, autophagy may be reactivated to help cells in their pursuit to continue gaining a foothold in the otherwise hostile environment of the body.”

“Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life, allows neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment.”

“The effect of social isolation in mice on cancer metastasis, and conversely how wound healing can be affected in mice just by changes in their environment. What affects the stress hormone cortisol has on gene expression.”
