N-acetylcysteine, its role in cancer immunotherapy under study
Several studies support the hypothesis that the efficacy of immunotherapy can be prolonged over time by acting on mechanisms that regulate intracellular oxidative stress
Immunometabolism: nutrients for the immune system
The immune system protects us from potential threats, but if it is not functioning at its best it can give rise to exaggerated processes of inflammation and oxidation, which damage the body and promote aging and related diseases. “Feeding” it correctly is imperative
Long Covid: long-term neurocognitive symptoms
Memory and concentration issues, fogginess, anxiety, depression, and loss of taste and smell: these are all neurocognitive symptoms of what is known as Long Covid Syndrome.
What’s Long Covid
According to some clinical observations, the immune system of young Covid-19 survivors appears to age prematurely, contributing to the onset of Long Covid. But this ageing process could also be reversed
Scientific Article about Covid-19 by Solongevity Research published in Frontiers
Solongevity Research, published by the international scientific journal in Immunology, addresses the issue of interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and other seasonal coronaviruses, immunological interactions that may explain the severe clinical course of some patients and the seasonal pattern.
COVID-19, why are the elderly most affected?
As the immune system ages, it undergoes alterations and becomes less efficient. This is how processes such as immunosenescence and inflammaging affect it, exposing us to an increased risk of infection by pathogens such as the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
COVID-19, 5 rules to help prevent it
The elderly are more susceptible to infections such as coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 due to phenomena such as immunosenescence and inflammation. At their origin, however, there are epigenetic changes that we can influence through our lifestyle.
