Within tumors are factories of immune cells that keep the body fighting a rearguard action against cancer, and they are a key to helping patients recover according to research.

Immunotherapy works by leveraging the body’s immune system to fight tumors, and it largely focuses on white blood cells which are trained to recognize and attack cancer cells, the white blood cells are called T-cells.

According to a study published in Science Advances maintaining good oral health may help to slow down the development of Alzheimer’s disease; Porphyromonas gingivalis a bacterium that causes chronic periodontitis has been found to colonize the brains of those with the disease. 

Toxic substances produced by P. gingivalis called gingipains correlate with the levels of tau and ubiquitin in the brains of those with Alzheimer’s disease, these proteins are linked with the development of the disease; inhibiting the activity of gingipains has been found to reduce tau and ubiquitin levels and protect brain neurons from damage caused by inflammation. 

Research from New York University shows that pesticides and flame retardants may pose a threat to children’s IQ which may be more than lead or mercury as exposure to flame retardants resulted in a loss of 162 million IQ points among children from 2001-2016; and these chemicals are being called hit and runs toxins because the damage can be sudden and can’t be reserved.

While heavy metals such as mercury and lead may be less of a threat to the developing brains of children than they were two decades ago new manaces are taking their place: flame retardants and pesticides.

Exercise has been well documented to show beneficial effects, now a recent study has found that one particular aspect of fitness, training for a specific goal, may be particularly advantageous. 

Value of goal oriented exercise is connected directly to the aging process; with age arteries are more likely to stiffen and aerobic exercise can help to reduce arterial stiffening which is seen as a predictor of cardiovascular events. It is difficult for physicians to recommend a form of fitness that will work for everyone, but findings from this study suggest that training for and running in a marathon may be a good choice for those looking to improve cardiovascular health.
