While the main focus of doctors dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic has been on pulmonary respiratory problems and securing ventilators, many healthcare workers from the front lines are reporting mysterious heart damage resulting in heart attacks and cardiac arrest. It is estimated that approximately 85% of patients diagnosed with pneumonia are due to COVID-19 infection. As more data is released …
Stem cells are the fundamental building blocks of the human body. Cells can differentiate and reproduce any tissue, such as the heart, muscle, cartilage, bone, or liver. Newborn children have many circulating stem cells needed for development, which can quickly help them recover from infectious diseases and injuries. As we age, the number of circulating stem cells in the body …
Exomes are the portions of an organism’s genome containing protein-coding genes. They comprise a small part of the total DNA, usually around 1-2%, but are responsible for most known genetic functions. Exomes contain sequences called exons, which are the coding regions within genes. These exons are transcribed into RNA and then translated into proteins, which perform various functions within the …
According to The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, a new class of radiopharmaceuticals has been developed to non-invasively identify over 30 types of malignant cancerous tumors. The latest Radiotracer uses a modified PET/CT scan (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) to image a large variety of tumors in various stages with high image contrast, paving the way for dozens of potential applications in …
Most traditional treatments today are designed using a one-size-fits-all to cover the “average” patient. But advances in biotechnology and Artificial intelligence (AI) medical researchers are now equipped with vast amounts of personalized datasets at their disposal, and can analyze unique situations based on our genetic profiles, family medical histories and other relevant medical conditions to better understand what types of …
What is Paracrine Communication? Paracrine signaling also known as Paracrine communication is a natural method of communication between cells that causes desired changes in surrounding cells and chemically altering the behavior surrounding cells. Why is paracrine signaling important? The paracrine communication system, exosomes and cytokines are critical for the success of functional medicine, regenerative medicine, and stem cell therapies. The …
