A probiotic way to stay free of autoimmune diabetes: Probiotic Bifidobacterium bifidum increases PD-L1 expression, increases Tregs function, promotes immune tolerance, increases pancreatic β-cell proliferation and regeneration, increases insulin secretion, improves insulin sensitivity, increases energy utilization, and reverses TIDM, via up-regulation of its target gene, 28/September/2018, 1.00 pm

Introduction: What they say A study from the International Center for T1D, Pediatric Clinical Research Center Romeo ed Enrica Invernizzi, “L. Sacco” Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, University of Milan, Milan 20157, Italy; and Nephrology Division, Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA shows that “PD-L1 genetic overexpression or pharmacological restoration in hematopoietic stem and progenitor […]

Repurposing the anti-inflammatory drug into a longevity-promoting drug: Sulindac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), inhibits the expression of Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (p70S6 Kinase) and extends mammalian lifespan, via upregulation of its target genes, 26/September/2018, 11.59 pm

What they say: A study from the Institute of Healthy Ageing, Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, University College London, London WC1E 6JJ, UK shows that “Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 signaling regulates mammalian life span.” This study was published, in the 2 October 2009 issue of the Journal “Science” (I.F: 31.477 ), by Prof Dominic J. Withers, Dr. Selman C and others. What we […]

Repurposing the anti-pulmonary hypertensive drug into a longevity-promoting drug: Ambrisentan(trade name: Letairis, Volibris, Pulmonext), an anti-pulmonary hypertensive drug, increases NMN/NAD levels, decreases interaction of DBC1 with PARP1, increases PARP1 activity, promotes DNA repair, augments tolerance against radiation, cancer, and aging, via down-regulation of its target gene, 26/October/2018, 11.28 pm

Introduction: What they say A study from Department of Genetics, Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA; and Department of Pharmacology, School of Medical Sciences, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales 2052, Australia shows that “A conserved NAD+ binding pocket that regulates protein-protein […]

Awakening the sleeping/cancer-protecting angels in mutant p53 human tumors: Sulindac (brand name: Clinoril), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions,  increases the expression of tumor suppressors genes, such as CCM3/KRIT1, TPM1,  p53, TAp63, TAp73, INK4a, and others, and induces regression of p53-mutated human cancers and other cancers, via up-regulation of its target gene, 26/October/2018, 11.14 pm

From Significance of the study to Public health relevance:  Given that: (1) cancer suppressor p53 is mutated in more than 50% of human cancers of different tissue origin; (2) p53 pathway is altered in about 80% of tumors.; (3) our understanding is incomplete in terms of molecular targets and the oncogenic/malignant pathways involved in mutant […]

Lengthening the lifespan of mighty humans with tiny probiotics: Probiotic Lactobacillus Salivarius LA307-based lifespan extension therapy: Lactobacillus Salivarius LA307 inhibits the expression of Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (p70S6 Kinase) and extends mammalian lifespan, via upregulation of its target genes, 26/September/2018, 7.34 am

Dealing harmful infective agents with Probiotics (good bacteria):  Probiotics-based adjuvant therapy for viral and bacterial infections: Probiotic Lactobacillus crispatus inhibits Hepatitis-B/C, Dengue, Zika, Ebola, HIV-1, Mtb, Malaria, CMV, Influenza H1NI1,  respiratory syncytial,  Sindbis, and SFV viruses by increasing the Levels of the antiviral Proteins IFITM3, & Interferon-stimulated gene, 26/October/2018, 7.19 am

Introduction: What they say: A study from the Ragon Institute of Massachusetts General Hospital, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA shows that “The IFITM proteins mediate cellular resistance to influenza A H1N1 virus, West Nile virus, and dengue virus.” This study was published, in the 24 December 2009 issue of the […]
