(Natural News) One of the most important areas of scientific research for combating SARS-CoV-2 involves understanding cytokines and mitigating cytokine storm. Cytokines are cell signaling molecules that facilitate immune responses. These molecules communicate between cells to stimulate the movement of immune responsive cells toward sites of inflammation and infection. Israeli scientists have found that yogurt […]

(Natural News) Complete suppression of immune response may be the real cause of death among coronavirus patients, claim two new studies led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (WUSTL). Previous reports point to severe inflammation as the main cause of organ damage suffered by patients with severe COVID-19. But autopsy findings tell a […]

(Natural News) Much like practicing regular exercise and eating a well-balanced diet, you shouldn’t take a good night’s sleep for granted—especially when you take into account its effects on your health. Poor sleep can lead to negative effects on your brain function and hormones. It can even trigger weight gain and increase your risk of developing […]

(Natural News) People often experience days where they lack the motivation to get up and go to wherever they need to be. While this mopey, listless feeling can strike at any moment, those with chronic, low-grade inflammation are more likely to experience the sudden onset of the blues. A study published in the journal Trends in Cognitive […]

(Natural News) Are you getting enough sleep every night? If not, it’s high time that you prioritize getting more hours catching those Z’s. American researchers found that losing even 16 minutes of sleep can have negative effects on a person’s daily activities, including increased stress levels and poorer work performance. They published their findings in Sleep […]

(Natural News) Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer. Depending on its stage or the extent of its metastasis, the five-year survival rate of colorectal cancer patients is 65 percent. Luckily, researchers from Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine have found a traditional Chinese medicine that can stop cancer cells from spreading. This […]

(Natural News) Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is an irreversible complication of pregnancy that results in poor fetal growth. IUGR is caused by maternal food restriction (FR) or malnutrition, but the mechanisms underlying this condition is not fully understood. In a recent study published in the journal Nutrition Research, a team from the David Geffen School of Medicine at […]

(Natural News) In this study, researchers from The Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School in Israel examined the efficacy of acupuncture in treating persistent warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The results of their study were published in the journal Medical Acupuncture. HPV infections can cause cutaneous warts. In these small skin lesions, viral manipulation creates […]

(Natural News) What happens when you don’t get enough sleep? Perhaps you’re in such a bad mood the next day that no one wants to get within five feet of you, or maybe you find yourself staring at a blank computer screen at work yawning endlessly as your productivity plummets. However, there are also some […]

(Natural News) In this study published in the journal Nutrition Research, a team of researchers from the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles investigated the mechanisms underlying intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) using a mouse model. They evaluated key cytokines like interleukin-10 (IL-10), cellular processes related to immunity, and the resulting […]
