New research shows that wound healing can be delayed because the body produces too many mast cells, which promote healing. Overabundance of these cells causes the overproduction of IL-10, preventing certain white blood cells from reaching the wound. The work may provide better treatments for the elderly with lower extremity skin ulcers, women with upper-extremity wounds following breast cancer surgery, and delayed healing in all skin wounds.

Watching more than two hours of screens a day may harm the structural integrity of white matter in preschoolers' brains, with implications for language and literacy skills. Children under 2 years shouldn't use screens, but even those 2 and over may face lifelong consequences of too much screen time during childhood

Changes in one circuit of nerves, but not another, in the spinal cord depend on how quickly muscles must move to complete a task, according to results of a new study. The results could influence physical therapy routines for patients struggling to control their bodies after a stroke or spine injury.

Traumatic brain Injury (TBI) is a significant cause of death and long-term disability for which there are currently no effective pharmacological treatment options. In this study then, we utilized a mouse model of TBI to assess the therapeutic potential of the stable disaccharide trehalose, which is …

Spinal cord injury can have devastating, and often irreversibly debilitating effects. Conventional treatment relies on steroid drugs and surgery with lackluster results. What if an extract of turmeric works better and is safer?

A protein complex that helps direct the growth of axons -- the parts of neurons that make up our nerves, connecting our senses and muscles to the brain and spinal cord -- has been discovered by a team of researchers. The study shows how the protein myosin-Va acts as a calcium sensor that tells new pieces of axon where they should go.

You’ve heard it all your life: “Eat your greens.” But did you know that eating just one cup of leafy greens each day makes your brain an average of 11 years younger than someone who skips them?

Researchers have developed a system that allows real-time optical and electrical observations of the gut's nervous system in a live animal. The system will allow researchers to study how this 'second brain' reacts to different drugs, neurotransmitters or diseases.

Hypertension affects about 30% of adults worldwide. While most people try to cut back on salt to lower their pressure, a better strategy may be to add these healthy foods to the menu.

A team of researchers performed experiments on blood-deprived cells that were subsequently exposed to blood serum. Remarkably, all the cells started to move and grow in the same direction as soon as the blood serum was added.

People who experience the heart arrhythmia atrial fibrillation, may also suffer from a smaller brain, specifically reduced frontal lobe volume, according to a recent Framingham Heart Study.

All plants produce “phytochelatins” to bind up heavy metals to protect themselves from the harmful effects. So, what if we ate the plants?

Old mice ran around like young animals again, and showed signs of improved memory, after receiving injections of blood taken from 18-year-old people

Blood pressure and the association with heart disease.

I have been increasingly skeptical of the progressive lowering of target blood pressure values as the decades have swiftly passed. For thirty years I had been completely satisfied with 140/90 standard as the upper limit of normal blood pressure.

Long have we wondered why some people have strokes and heart attacks despite having a diagnosis of normal blood pressure and this type A personality tendency with a lifetime of blood pressure surges could be one reason.

It is blood pressure that drives the opening of small capillaries during angiogenesis. A team of researchers has observed the process for the first time.

In this research alert, founder of Gluten Free Society, Dr. Peter Osborne, discusses the research linking blood pressure medications to inflammation of the GI tract that mimics celiac disease. You will want to watch this video if your doctor has prescribed an Angiotensin II receptor blocker like telmisartan or olmesartan to you for the treatment of high blood pressure.

The Connection Between Blood Pressure and Celiac Disease Can blood pressure medicine cause celiac disease?  That is the question that researchers at Mayo Clinic have been asking and exploring…And the simple answer answer is yes.  In this Gluten Free Society Update, I break down the research linking blood pressure medications to inflammation of the GI [...]

Your arteries are major blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. Healthy arteries have smooth inner walls allowing smooth blood flow. Clogged arteries, on the other hand, may decrease or block healthy blood flow, and increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and even death due to a buildup of a substance called plaque on their inner walls. In this video, you will learn what clogged articles are and their pathophysiology. You will understand the major causes of blocked arteries. I will share some important lab work that may help to determine your risk factors. I will also offer some powerful natural support strategies to help improve blood flow and cardiovascular health.
