Hormone Replacement Therapy May Reverse Menopause-Related Immune Changes
What the study reveals about menopause and immunity A new study led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London suggests that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could help reverse immune changes linked to menopause. The findings, published in Aging Cell, indicate that menopause significantly alters women’s immune profiles by increasing inflammatory monocytes and diminishing the…

HRT May Reverse Menopause Immune Changes: New Study Goes Beyond Symptom Relief
New evidence links menopause to shifts in immune health In a groundbreaking study led by Queen Mary University of London, researchers report that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help reverse immune changes linked to menopause. The study, published in Aging Cell, suggests that the loss of female hormones not only triggers hot flashes and fatigue…

Decades of Endurance Exercise: How Lifelong Training Shapes a Stronger Immune System
New findings link long-term endurance training to a tougher, more adaptable immune system Regular physical activity is known to strengthen muscles, lungs, and heart. Now, a growing body of research suggests that decades of endurance exercise may also prime the immune system, particularly natural killer (NK) cells, to respond more effectively to inflammatory challenges. In…

Decades of Endurance Exercise Train the Immune System for Stronger Defense
Chronic training strengthens immune defenses in older adults Regular long‑term endurance exercise does more than build muscles, lungs, and the heart. New research shows that decades of sustained activity can also train the immune system, enhancing how immune cells respond to threats. In a study focused on older adults with a history of endurance training,…

Scientists unveil first “accurate blood test” to diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)
Groundbreaking Claim: A Blood Test for ME/CFS Scientists from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Oxford Biodynamics (OBD) say they have developed what could be the world’s first blood test capable of diagnosing myalgic encephalomyelitis, commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome or ME/CFS. If validated, the test would represent a major shift in how…

Common Food Additives May Trigger Childhood Asthma: What New Metabolomics Reveals
Overview: A Metabolomics Look at Food Additives and Childhood Asthma Researchers are increasingly examining how everyday food additives may influence childhood asthma. A recent study published in Frontiers in Immunology used metabolomics to explore the mechanisms behind the association between additives and asthma in children. The findings suggest that preservative and sweetener exposure could disrupt…

Common Food Additives May Trigger Childhood Asthma: A Metabolomics Insight
Overview: Food additives and childhood asthma Recent research published in Frontiers in Immunology sheds new light on how common food additives might influence the development and severity of asthma in children. By using metabolomics—a broad analysis of metabolites in biological samples—the study explores how certain additives could alter immune pathways and gut-lung interactions that govern…

Glioblastoma Erodes Skull and Alters Immune Marrow
A deadly brain cancer that may not stay local Glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, is revealing a new and troubling dimension: it appears to interact with the body’s immune system in ways that go beyond the brain itself. In a study published in Nature Neuroscience, scientists from the Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer…

Glioblastoma Study Reveals Skull Erosion and Immune Shifts
Groundbreaking finding: glioblastoma interacts with the skull and immune marrow Scientists from Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have shown, for the first time, that glioblastoma—one of the deadliest brain cancers—does more than invade brain tissue. The disease also erodes the skull, alters the makeup of skull marrow,…
