‘Brain fog’ is a colloquial term for feeling scatter-brained, confused, forgetful, or mentally impaired. “Where did I leave my keys?“ When we reach “a certain age,” we all have these moments. Some people call it brain cloud, some call it brain fog, but most people just accept it as part of getting older. But is that always true? Brain fog …
We recently experienced the powers of a ground-breaking vaccine against COVID-19 thanks to mRNA technology, but it has even more potential to democratize access to bleeding-edge medical advancements. Messenger RNA or “mRNA” is a single-stranded RNA involved in protein synthesis. Although the blueprint for proteins in living cells was discovered six decades ago, its pharmaceutical potential was long overlooked. mRNA …
If stem cells are used to treat diseases such as Heart Failure and crohns, we must understand how the genes are turned on and off in our cells. By studying stem cells and gametes, we can understand how the genes are regulated by so-called epigenetic mechanisms when they give rise to new cell types. During the development from stem cell …
A new study about the long-term effects of COVID has shown a substantial rise in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and brain strokes, after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. These findings show that even fully vaccinated patients with very mild cases of COVID-19 from omicron subvariant can increase the risk of cardiovascular and pulmonary disease for at least …
Before You Risk Surgery for Rotator Cuff Injury, Take a Good Long Look at Today’s Stem Cell Therapies. The human shoulder is one of the body’s most flexible joints, but its incredible flexibility is typically why it’s so susceptible to getting a rotator cuff injury. Over the last 15 years, The Regeneration Center has developed into one of the world’s …
Every day, it seems, medical researchers discover new links connecting chronic diseases, systemic inflammation, and the significance of what are known as “superfoods” in preventing or protecting against unwelcome fatty acid oxidation. It should come as no surprise, to anyone that there is indeed a direct relationship between kidney diseases, metabolic diseases and our diet. Knowing about these relationships is …
