Lymphatic system is part of the immune system maintains fluid balance and plays a role in absorbing fats and fat-soluble nutrients involves an extensive network of vessels that passes through almost all our tissues to allow for the movement of a fluid called lymph lymph circulates through the body in a similar way to bloodContinue reading “Lymphatic fluid is squeezed through the vessels when we use our muscles”

Quickly assesses live tissue cellular antioxidant levels
Quickly assesses live tissue cellular antioxidant levels in response to ROS Complete labs have there place but a portable biophotonic scan measuring your anti-oxidant level can help you find what is missing in your body with whole foods, exercise, sleep, de-stressing and supplementation ( using AgeLOC and other nutrients). Get a reading of your anti-oxidantContinue reading “Quickly assesses live tissue cellular antioxidant levels”
Rapamycin as immunosuppressive agent
mTOR signaling pathway in human cancer Signaling pathway of mTOR Many human tumors occur because of dysregulation of mTOR signaling, and can confer higher susceptibility to inhibitors of mTOR.[17] Deregulations of multiple elements of the mTOR pathway, like PI3K amplification/mutation, PTEN loss of function, AKT overexpression, and S6K1, 4EBP1, and eIF4E overexpression have been related to many types of cancers. Therefore, mTOR isContinue reading ” Rapamycin as immunosuppressive agent”
Training The Immune System To Fight Cancer Has 19th-Century Roots
Training The Immune System To Fight Cancer Has 19th-Century Roots REBECCA DAVIS A novel immunotherapy drug is credited for successfully treating former President Jimmy Carter’s advanced melanoma. Instead of killing cancer cells, these drugs boost the patient’s immune system, which does the job instead. Immunotherapy is cutting-edge cancer treatment, but the idea dates back moreContinue reading “Training The Immune System To Fight Cancer Has 19th-Century Roots”
Immunoglobulin B cells from bone marrow and cytokines role during cancer expression
Antibody (or immunoglobulin) structure is made up of two heavy-chains and two light-chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds. The arrangement or processes that put together different parts of this antibody molecule play important role in antibody diversity and production of different subclasses or classes of antibodies. The organization and processes take placeContinue reading “Immunoglobulin B cells from bone marrow and cytokines role during cancer expression”
When scientists saw the mouse heads glowing, they knew the discovery was big
A brain scan from an older individual who had Alzheimer’s disease shows patches of aquaporin-4 in red. In cognitively healthy people, the protein is more evently distributed. (OREGON HEALTH & SCIENCE UNIVERSITY) By David Kohn May 21 Kari Alitalo had studied lymphatic vessels for more than two decades. So he knew that this network, whichContinue reading “When scientists saw the mouse heads glowing, they knew the discovery was big”
20 Minutes of Exercise May Suppress Inflammation
Summary: A new study reports 20 minutes of moderate exercise can act as an anti-inflammatory. The findings could be beneficial for those with inflammatory diseases such as fibromyalgia and arthritis. Source: UCSD. One moderate exercise session has a cellular response that may help suppress inflammation in the body. It’s well known that regular physical activityContinue reading “20 Minutes of Exercise May Suppress Inflammation”
Targeting the Gut-Brain Connection Can Impact Immunity
Summary: Researchers report that manipulating dopamine signaling in the nervous system of C. elegans can control inflammation in the gut. Source: Duke. Drugs aimed at nervous system act on immune system as well. There’s a reason it’s called a gut feeling. The brain and the gut are connected by intricate neural networks that signal hungerContinue reading “Targeting the Gut-Brain Connection Can Impact Immunity”
Why do I have olfactory memory problems?
First, your immune system becomes low leading to flu and depression. Our gut bacteria affects our mood as reported in my blog, clubalthea . Our nose has so many bacteria fighting mucus and cilia. Nasal epithelial cilia continually transport mucus with ensnared particulate matter … Lysozymes acts as antimicrobial properties of human nasal cavity. ItContinue reading “Why do I have olfactory memory problems?”
How dangerous is it to be around a bunch of unvaccinated kids? What about while pregnant?
My answer to How dangerous is it to be around a bunch of unvaccinated kids? What about while pregnant? Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono: More dangerous to touch cat’s feces. Up your immune system with sleep, massage,sunshine,Vit C and zinc, massage,and other de-stressful ways (laughter,music) How dangerous is it to be around a bunch ofContinue reading “How dangerous is it to be around a bunch of unvaccinated kids?

Brain to immune system communication
Valentin A Pavlov,1 Hong Wang,1 Christopher J Czura,1 Steven G Friedman,1,2 and Kevin J Tracey1 Abstract This review outlines the mechanisms underlying the interaction between the nervous and immune systems of the host in response to an immune challenge. The main focus is the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, which we recently described as a novel functionContinue reading “Brain to immune system communication”
Is there a correlation between social isolation and a weakened immune system?
Yes. In social environment, happiness and contentment can be derived. A happy person has strong immune system. Energy is created that moves immune cells to grow and be energized. https://clubalthea.com/category/immune-system/
Lack of immune cell receptor impairs clearance of amyloid beta protein from the brain
Increased expression of Scara1 protein might impede progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Identification of a protein that appears to play an important role in the immune system’s removal of amyloid beta (A-beta) protein from the brain could lead to a new treatment strategy for Alzheimer’s disease. The report from researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) hasContinue reading “Lack of immune cell receptor impairs clearance of amyloid beta protein from the brain”
The Evolution of Amyloid Toxicity in Alzheimer’s
Researchers uncover structural markers to differentiate between smaller and larger forms of “Jekyll and Hyde” amyloid beta molecular bundles–providing a basis for understanding why smaller bundles of the protein are more toxic than larger bundles. A tiny protein known as an “amyloid beta” acts like Jekyll and Hyde in mysterious ways within the human body.Continue reading “The Evolution of Amyloid Toxicity in Alzheimer’s”
