How the Lung Environment Controls Alveolar Macrophage Metabolism

Monday, April 22, 2019 by Eric
Lungs related to alveolar macrophage metabolism
Summary: Glucose (sugar) availability in the lungs could influence the immune response. Abstract: Fine control of macrophage activation is needed to prevent inflammatory disease, particularly at barrier sites such as the lungs. However, the dominant mechanisms that regulate the activation of pulmonary macrophages during inflammation are poorly understood. We found that alveolar macrophages (AlvMs) were

SCFAs Train T Cells in the Gut to Fight Autoimmunity in the Brain

Monday, April 22, 2019 by Eric
SCFAs train T cells
Summary: Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) produced by gut bacteria decreases autoimmunity (immune system attacking host tissue) against the brain. Abstract:  In this issue of Immunity, Haghikia and colleagues (2015)demonstrate that dietary fatty acids, by modulating gut microbes and their metabolism, regulate mucosal immune cells to impact systemic immunity. Using this mechanism, dietary and bacteria-derived medium-chain and

The anti-inflammatory mechanism of 635 nm light-emitting diode irradiation.

Friday, April 19, 2019 by Eric
Summary: Like COX inhibitors (like ibuprofen), red LED’s (light-emitting diodes) with the wavelength of 635 nanometers (nm) inhibited inflammatory markers, proving to be anti-inflammatory. Unlike COX inhibitors, red LED’s decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS), which high levels of ROS is associated to higher cellular damage.

Ferritin for the Clinician

Tuesday, April 09, 2019 by Eric
Blood cells in the vein
Summary: Elevated serum ferritin (a form of iron) levels are associated with coronary artery disease, malignancy, and poor stem cell transportation. It is also involved in conditions like neurodegenerative disorders, sideroblastic anemia, and hemophagocytic syndrome. Ferritin is an acute-phase reactant for the inflammatory response. Abstract: Ferritin, a major iron storage protein, is essential to iron

Summary: Posture can influence neuroendocrine levels. High-power poses lower cortisol, increase testosterone, increase power and tolerance for risk. Low-power poses do the exact opposite. Abstract: Humans and other animals express power through open, expansive postures, and they express powerlessness through closed, contractive postures. But can these postures actually cause power?
