Blood–brain barrier: A physical and biochemical boundary between the bloodstream and the parenchyma of the central nervous system (CNS). Composed of tightly bound vascular endothelial cells, surrounded by a basement membrane, and supported by astrocytes, pericytes, and microglia, the blood–brain barrier shields the CNS from viruses, bacteria, and neurotoxins. It also controls the movement of ions, molecules, and cells between blood and the CNS. The blood–brain barrier prevents 98% of small-molecule drugs and 100% of large-molecule drugs from entering the CNS through the bloodstream. To learn more about this concept, read “Sounding Out the Blood–Brain Barrier” by Kullervo Hynynen, Ph.D., from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and University of Toronto: https://nej.md/41Jxg2V

#RobinWarren, innovative Australian pathologist who battled medical wisdom on #ulcers (stress-related, right?), earned a 2005 #Nobel with colleague Barry Marshall. On July 23, Dr. Warren passed away. His very novel idea, defying the 1980s standard of care, reflected his research that identified a bacterial origin for common ulcers. As proof, colleague Barry Marshall swallowed that bacteria-spiked liquid, was ill in 3 days, and was cured by antibiotics. That changed research globally and rewrote medical textbooks on (what they coined as) #Helicobacterpylori (H. pylori) bacteria for its impact on the gut. Over 50% of the globe suffers from it (usually, it's asymptomatic). Go to any commercial lab in the US, and they will test you for it (a smart step for anyone). A fully deserved global "Thank You," Dr. Warren. -- #ulcers #Hpylori #gutbacteria #ulcertreatment #medicalinnovation #pathology Larry Chapoy Greg Cullison Rose Li

Much deeply thoughtful and studied science around the chemistry, physiology and the psychology of pain. There are some wonderful and promising research at the 2nd Annual NIH HEAL symposium here at the Maryland Gaylord Convention Center. After many years of research, it is still a challenging area of human experience to try to put a finger on safer solutions for pain. Yet, sometimes complex problems can be answered with simple solutions. That is the goal of H3Pelvic Therapy Systems, providing better, safer, and much more dignified patient improving outcomes. H3Pelvic, bringing dignity back to healthcare and giving chronic pelvic pain victims renewed hope.

#Ageing is NOT Linear… Researchers assessed many thousands of different molecules in people from age 25 to 75, as well as their microbiomes — the bacteria, viruses and fungi that live inside us and on our skin — and found that the abundance of most molecules and microbes do not shift in a gradual, chronological fashion. Rather, we undergo two periods of rapid change during our life span, averaging around age 44 and age 60. CLICK on the LINK below to READ the paper describing these findings published in the journal @Nature Aging Aug. 14 https://stan.md/3yIe3EP #longevity #ageing #microbiome Brain Matrix Alliance #molecules #research #publications

Wilson disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by abnormal copper accumulation in the body particularly involving the brain, liver, and cornea. It affects 1 in 30,000 individuals and may present as weakness, abdominal pain, jaundice, personality change, seizures, etc. Visit us for more information : https://lnkd.in/gHHWFg4m Submissions are Open in the broad scope of the Journal of Regenerative Biology and Medicine [ISSN: 2582-385X].
