Studies showed that if you are flossing, you can reduce your risk of dementia by nearly half, which is quite impressive. So I started to research the brain much more and it made me realize this link with the brain and the gut is absolutely crucial and how that influences many things in our brain. For example, things like depression, mood changes, fatigue and energy. But for 40 years, we've been going down the wrong path. We've got so distracted by treating the brain as something so different to the rest of ...

Core Technology & Innovation - Development of molecular pendulums, a specific type of biosensor, to detect proteins, the body's messengers, earlier than symptoms appear [8] - The innovation lies in applying a controlled oscillating voltage to the sensor to detach proteins, enabling continuous, real-time monitoring [12][13] - Creation of an electrode-integrated micro-needle device for in-body measurement of interstitial fluid, allowing real-time tracking of cytokines and inflammation [15][16] Medical & Healthcare Implications - Real-time monitoring of inflammation allows for early intervention and treatment adjustment, potentially stopping diseases in their tracks [16] - The technology enables the tracking of over a thousand protein biomarkers linked to diseases like cancer, heart disease, infections, and autoimmune conditions [18] - The technology offers a window into life itself, providing the opportunity to hear the full symphony of the body where every protein is an instrument playing its part in a score of health and diseases [17][20] Research & Development - The research team published their work in Science last year, leading to adaptation and exploration by dozens of research groups worldwide [20] - The sensor is made of affordable and scalable materials, making it a potentially accessible technology [21] Future Impact - The technology aims to replace guesswork with clarity and give people back time to act early, recover fully, and live as people, not just patients [22]

Group 1 - Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic, with acute inflammation being beneficial for healing and chronic inflammation being harmful to health [1][2][6] - Acute inflammation is a short-term response to injury, while chronic inflammation can persist for months or years and is linked to various diseases [21][22] - Chronic inflammation is associated with serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), contributing to a significant portion of global mortality [22][31] Group 2 - The inflammatory process involves various mediators, including histamines, cytokines, and immune cells, which play roles in both acute and chronic inflammation [12][13][15] - Chronic inflammation can result from the body's inability to eliminate harmful substances or from autoimmune disorders where the immune system attacks healthy tissues [26][28] - Lifestyle factors such as diet, smoking, and physical inactivity can contribute to chronic inflammation, while a healthy diet and active lifestyle may help mitigate it [32][33] Group 3 - Treatments for chronic inflammation include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biologics, each with their own benefits and risks [34][36][38] - NSAIDs work by inhibiting prostaglandins, while corticosteroids mimic cortisol to reduce inflammation, and biologics target specific inflammatory agents [35][37][38] - Managing chronic inflammation is crucial due to its association with various diseases and overall health deterioration [41]
