A compression sleeve for lymphedema is a tube-shaped elasticized garment that a person wears on the arm. By putting pressure on the arm, it keeps lymph flowing through the lymphatic system. Lymph is a colorless fluid containing white blood cells. It bathes tissues and flows through the lymphatic system...
Cancer & Resident Memory T-Cells
Metastasis is a significant cause of cancer fatality. Lymph nodes are the most common sites of early metastasis. T cells act as protectors against early cancer spreading. Researchers found that two types of CD8+ T cells exist with a distinct genomic profile: – Tumor-fighting T cells can freely travel...
How Highly Processed Foods Harm Memory in The Aging Brain of Rats
Researchers from the Ohio State University Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research found that older rats on a 4 weeks diet of highly processed food led to a strong inflammatory response in the brains of aging rats with some type of memory loss. Highly processed diets are known to be...
Human Brain Vs. Animal Brain
Neurons communicate with each other via electrical impulses, which are produced by ion channels. A team of scientists from MIT compared layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the cortex of 9 mammalian species and in humans. In 9 of the 10 species they observe conserved conductance of ions channels (calcium,...
Insula and Psychosomatic Diseases
The insula is a structure we study in Brain 1 (B1), deeply folded on the side of the brain cortex, that is known to have many functions including supporting the body’s homeostasis, ANS regulation, interception, emotions modulation, etc… In a new interesting study researchers induced inflammation in mice (colitis/peritonitis),...
