Tracey, MD, The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research’s director and CEO, was invited to speak this morning at “Longevity and Optimal Health: Integrating Eastern and Western Perspectives. ” This conference, co-hosted by the Columbia University Integrative Medicine Program and Tibet House, has brought together leading scientists, scholars and practitioners to discuss how recent advances in the Western science of aging may reveal how the Indo-Tibetan traditions of meditation, diet and yoga extend life. The XIVth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the guest of honor and will deliver a summary response integrating the discussions at the conclusion of the conference. Through years of painstaking research on the immune system’s response to injury, Dr. Tracey and his colleagues worldwide made several incremental discoveries that led to a new theory he coined “the inflammatory reflex. ” The inflammatory reflex is the foundation for the mind-body connection, as it provides a direct link between the nervous system and that which normally keeps people healthy — the immune system.

(From AScribe) BALTIMORE — In an example of biological irony, the same white blood cell chemistry known to damage kidneys used for transplants may also help prevent such damage, according to a federally funded study in genetically engineered mice at Johns Hopkins. Researchers have long known that when blood flow is cut off and then returned to transplanted kidneys or other organs, immune system cells called T lymphocytes produce toxic natural chemicals that contribute to ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI). Nature cannot distinguish between deliberate surgical wounds needed to remove and re-implant a donor kidney and other kinds of organ damage in which certain toxic chemicals are needed to clean up.

Ramirez says she has a beau. Oh split from her Sideways director, Alexander Payne, after a brief marriage. And though Wilson declines to discuss the nature of her relationship with the father of her three children, daughters Serena, 13, and Joy, 8, and son, Michael, 10 months, keep her quite busy. Wilson realizes what fans truly want to know is who their favorite characters will be hooking up with. “The setting, the medical emergencies, the individual quirks of the characters, the humor — that’s all secondary,” says fan Petra Otto of Neenah, Wis. “In the end, I’m tuning in every week to watch them find love.

– Certain immune-suppressing drugs, such as those taken by patients who have had organ transplants, greatly increase the risk of developing diabetes. These drugs are known to put a stranglehold on a protein called calcineurin. So it’s not exactly a surprise that Seung Kim, MD, PhD, assistant professor of developmental biology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, chose to study why calcineurin inhibition leads to the disease. What is surprising is just how central calcineurin turns out to be in the health and happiness of the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. His findings, to be published in the Sept. 21 issue of Nature, could shake up diabetes research, lead to new classes of diabetes drugs and aid in efforts to develop stem… What is surprising is just how central calcineurin turns out to be in the health and happiness of the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.
