Cancer’s Gene-determined ‘Immune Landscape’ Dictates Progression of Prostate Tumors
Wild type human prostate cells from an organoid (a man-made construct that resembles an organ). These cells have come from a xenograft where they serve as controls for the study of primary prostate cancer tumor cells, which are also injected into mice and then extracted for characterization.

The field of immunotherapy – the harnessing of patients’ own immune systems to fend off cancer – is revolutionizing cancer treatment today. However, clinical trials often show marked improvements in only small subsets of patients, suggesting that as-yet unidentified variations among tumors result in distinct paths of disease progression and response to therapy.
Kidneys, lungs, immune system and virus
Take care of your immune system with sleep, nutrition and other remedies such as herbs. Connie Goodpasture syndrome is a rare but serious autoimmune disease that attacks thelungs and kidneys. The disease occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly produces antibodies against collagen in the lungs and kidneys.Nov 7, 2016 Goodpasture Syndrome Overview: Diagnosis, Symptoms, and Treatment https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/goodpasture-syndrome Pulmonary-Renal Syndrome – LungContinue reading “Kidneys, lungs, immune system and virus”
Thymosin beta 4 and Skin Repair
This hopeful message of Tb4’s potential to restore damaged human skin was voiced at the 5th International Symposium on Aging Skin, in California (May 2001), by Dr. Allan Goldstein, Chairman of the Biochemistry Department at George Washington University and founder of RegeneRX Biopharmaceuticals. RegeneRX is carrying out preclinical research on Tb4 as a wound healer, in collaboration with scientists at the National Institutes of Health.
Aging, Immune system, Thymosin hormones, and Vitamin D supplementation
A 51 yr old male with thymus gland issues present accelerated aging and decreased immune system function
Case: 51 , male , had pyloric stenosis when he was young in his teens, now has many medical issues (allergies, skin disease, hypertension, other aging related health issues)
My research points to the thymus gland. More male newborn are affected by pyloric stenosis as their chest circumference are greater than female newborn. Hormones are affected that can be influenced by the nutritional status of pregnant mothers.

Healthy immune system, healthy brain function
Immune System Maintains Brain Health. Once thought only to attack neurons, immune cells turn out to be vital for central nervous system function. … Kipnis’s work is part of a wave of research changing the way scientists view the relationship between theimmune system and the central nervous system(CNS).
Brain’s immune cells key to maintaining blood-brain barrier
New research shows that the cells responsible for protecting the brain from infection and inflammation are also responsible for repairing the system of defenses that separates the brain from the rest of the body. These findings have significant clinical implications because certain cardiovascular drugs could possibly impede the brain’s ability to repair itself after a stroke or other injury.
Gut Bacteria Linked to Age Related Conditions
Study reveals role of specific lipids in accelerating or curbing bacterial infection
With the help of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), researchers showed that specific mammalian lipids could also provide protection against the same infection. Their discovery offers hope for future treatment of vulnerable patients in hospitals or development of preventative treatments for travellers to risk areas in certain parts of the world.
Skin and nerves need Vit C, A, D, E, calcium-magnesium and B complex
Neuroscientists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered how the sense of touch is wired in the skin and nervous system. The new findings, published Dec. 22 in Cell, open new doors for understanding how the brain collects and processes information from hairy skin.
“You can deflect a single hair on your arm and feel it, but how can you tell the difference between a raindrop, a light breeze or a poke of a stick?” says David Ginty, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins. “Touch is not yes or no; it’s very rich, and now we’re starting to understand how all those inputs are processed.”
Bust cold, infection and increase your immunity against all pathogens
I visited one of my clients who had to go back to the hospital for infection and brought a juice of orange, pineapple and turmeric. My mom always make a ginger hot drink with only water and fresh ginger.
Nowadays, I use all kinds of herbs to fight infection. Essential oils of lemon grass and eucalyptus are my go to oils.
Study discovers new genetic risk loci linked to children’s food allergies
What role do genes play in egg, milk, and nut allergies? A study published in Nature Communications, led by the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, has found five genetic risk loci that point to the importance of skin and mucous membrane barriers and the immune system in the development of food allergies.
An estimated five to eight percent of all children suffer from food allergies. They usually appear in the first years of life and manifest themselves in the form of itchy rashes and facial swellings, which occur shortly after food ingestion. Food allergies can, however, also cause severe allergic reactions involving breathing difficulties, vomiting, or diarrhea, and are the most frequent triggers of anaphylaxis in children. Anaphylaxis is the most extreme form of an immediate allergic reaction and can be life-threatening.
