Behind The Labs - Episode 63 - Cancer Cells Mechanism, Blood Thinners Alleviating Cognitive Decline, and the Inflammation-Hypothalamus Axis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For another Behind the Labs episode, we talked about five studies exploring some pretty unexpected connections in biology—from how cells survive severe tissue damage and how that could relate to cancer treatment resistance, to whether blood thinners might also influence cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer’s and AFib. We also looked at major molecular changes happening in the aging brain during midlife, how a protein called Menin in the hypothalamus may influence aging throughout the body,
Behind The Labs - Episode 62 - Ozempic Prevents Asthma, Caffeine as an Anti-Aging Compound, and (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The five studies explored how everyday substances, medications, and biological targets can have unexpected effects on human health. They looked at caffeine and cellular aging, sugary drinks and gastric cancer, semaglutide and respiratory disease, GPR133 and osteoporosis, and a DNA-based treatment for high cholesterol . Although the topics are different, each study identified a biological mechanism that could potentially be used to improve health or better understand disease. Together, the studie
Behind The Labs - Episode 61 - Nanoparticles Fighting Cancer, New Compound Burning Fat But Keeping Muscle, and Childhood Trauma can Leave a Scar In Your Brain? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today on Behind The Labs , we're diving into four stories reshaping how we think about the body and brain. First, we're debunking a 50-year-old myth: Linus Pauling's vitamin C megadose theory doesn't hold up against modern meta-analyses, which show at best a modest reduction in severe cold symptoms — not prevention. Then, we head into the operating room, where a new "double-punch" nanoparticle platform is helping surgeons see and destroy glioblastoma cells beyond what the eye or scalpel can reac
Behind The Labs - Episode 60 - THC Attenuating Teens' Cognitive Skills, Neural Plasticity Reimagined, and Deep Brain Stimulation Finding the Brain's Frequency? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Behind The Labs, we opened with adolescence: UC San Diego followed more than 11,000 kids in the ABCD Study from ages 9 and 10 through 16 and 17, verifying cannabis exposure with hair, urine, and saliva rather than trusting self-report, and found that teens who started using didn't decline — they stopped improving, with memory, attention, language, and processing speed flattening out while their peers kept climbing, with THC looking like the driver. From there we went to the Un
Behind The Labs - Episode 59 - How Much Exercise is Good For You, Identifying the Location of Cancerous Mutations, and The Molecule That Connects Aging to Everything Else! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode we looked at how cancer's own super-enhancer-driven growth program physically snaps its DNA, creating repeated break-and-repair cycles that may generate the mutations fueling tumor evolution. We then covered EPS8, an aging protein that hyperactivates RAC signaling and drives the toxic protein aggregation behind Huntington's and ALS — knocking it down cleared aggregates in both worms and human cells. Third, an antisense oligonucleotide targeting the glycine transporter SLC6A20 res
