Blending molecular precision with curiosity, this postdoc delves into epigenetic regulation to illuminate immune mechanisms in disease.Image credit:Sonam Mittal, ©iStock, koto_fejaQ | Write a brief introduction to yourself including the lab you work in and your research background. I am Sudhir Kumar, a dedicated researcher in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Emory University in Atlanta, where my work focuses on the discovery of novel transcription factors that regulate programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) expression. I investigate how transcriptomic and epigenetic mechanisms reprogram T and B lymphocytes to advance innovative, epigenetic-based therapies for chronic infections and cancer.Q |…
Eat electrolyte-rich foods like bananas and avocados to help muscles contract and relax.Stay hydrated before, during and after workouts to keep muscles healthy and cramp-free.Stretch often and avoid overexertion to prevent muscle cramps during and after exercise. There’s nothing worse than hitting a hard workout, only to end up with a fierce muscle cramp. These spasms or kinks are painful, involuntary contractions of a muscle or muscle group that often occur during or after exercise. They most commonly occur in the legs or feet and can last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. There are several causes of…
You may know that carrying extra pounds in your midsection, even if your overall weight seems fine, comes with risks for your heart health and metabolism. A new study investigated the question, how widespread is the issue, and how significant are the risks?New research suggests more than 1 in 5 adults around the world have “normal” body mass index (BMI) combined with abdominal obesity — a mix linked to conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high triglycerides.[1]“[Our study] highlights that where you store fat matters more than how much you weigh,” says study author Kedir Ahmed, PhD,…

Functional and conventional medicine are aligning – and precision testing is reshaping how we define prevention. Longevity medicine is at a crossroads. Functional and integrative clinicians have long talked about “root cause” and “optimization,” while conventional medicine has tended to prioritize disease treatment and risk mitigation. Yet these worlds are no longer parallel; they are beginning to merge. That convergence was on display at last month’s Vibrant Longevity Summit in Austin, hosted by precision diagnostics company Vibrant Wellness, where experts from neuroscience, endocrinology, cardiology and nutrition debated what “optimal” health really means – and how advanced testing could help to…

It’s time for a fresh approach, say Tom Roques and colleaguesFor 30 years, multidisciplinary team (MDT) working has been central to UK cancer care. This collaborative approach was supposed to promote consistent, high quality patient care, using…
“In this photo, I’m in the banquet hall of the House of Thiasus, a space that was frozen mid-renovation by the volcanic eruption of Vesuvius in ad 79.The space shows the beauty of Roman design: the floor mosaics give way to columns, and frescoes of dancers, fish and laden tables still adorn the walls. Most arresting of all is the deep cinnabar-red pigment that’s used in some of the frescoes: it is rare, unstable and made with mercury sulfide. Too much light or moisture could be enough to darken the paint to black. My job is to ensure that doesn’t…
In June, the supplement industry veteran and founder and CEO of NutriSelect.ai, filed a provisional patent for the health tech company’s Precision Supplement Intelligence platform and score rating system. The tool uses algorithms and machine learning to verify the science behind supplements.About 60% to 80% of supplements do not have scientific validation, according to Dr. Clark, who initially created NutriSelect to scour publicly available scientific studies in real time to determine supplement and ingredient efficacy. The platform assigns a numerical score to supplements based on the data. That is just one application for NutriSelect, as Dr. Clark has a greater…
