Vitamin B3 – Popular dietary supplement linked to cancer risk, brain metastasis

While previous studies have linked commercial dietary supplements like nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, to benefits related to cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological health, new research from the University of Missouri has found NR could actually increase the risk of serious disease, including developing cancer.

Benzodiazipines – Taking This Common Medication Long-Term Could Lead to Alzheimer’s

A “key role is played by immune cells of the brain known as microglia.” Benzodiazepines “bind to a specific protein, the translocator protein (TSPO), on the surface of cell organelles of the microglia,” the site says. “This binding activates the microglia, which then degrade and recycle synapses—that is, the connections between nerve cells.”

Unregulated ‘innovation’: India’s medicine problem

If India is the pharmacy of the world, it’s not doing a good job of providing safe products. A large number of children in the Gambia and Indonesia have recently died after ingesting cough syrup made in India. And in 2019, 11 children in India’s Jammu region died the same way. The cough medicine contained diethylene glycol, an industrial solvent.

Study reveals how to activate natural killer cells to protect against cancer and other diseases

  • The hypertension drug losartan can cause a previously resistant melanoma to become sensitive to natural killer cells by blocking collagen deposition in the tumor.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Keytruda and Opdivo work by unleashing the immune system’s T cells to attack tumor cells. Their introduction a decade ago marked a major advance in cancer therapy, but only 10% to 30% of treated patients experience long-term improvement. New findings could now bolster the effectiveness of immune-checkpoint therapy.
