There is mounting evidence that a bacterium involved in gingivitis may in fact be the cause of Alzheimer’s – a potential game-changer for the prevention and treatment of the disease Alzheimer’s is the most…

New research has revealed chaotic swings of protein concentrations keep the immune system functional and thus allow it to stave off chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Modern research has attributed the development of cancer cells to faulty mechanisms at play in the immune system, or breakdowns in what medical experts call “signalling pathways”.…
