Brain's Sanitation Department

Ever wondered how your brain takes out the trash? 🧠🚛 In this episode of Science Up!, we dive into the brain's waste disposal system—the glymphatic system—and how it keeps your neurons squeaky clean. But here's the twist: aging slows down this clean-up crew, potentially leading to cognitive decline. 🔬 Key Takeaways: ✅ The glymphatic system flushes out metabolic waste using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). ✅ Aging disrupts blood flow, slows CSF circulation, and weakens immune clearance, making waste disposal less efficient. ✅ Poor sleep impairs brain cleaning, linking sleep deprivation to neurodegenerative diseases. ✅ Meningeal lymphatic vessels shrink with age, reducing CSF drainage efficiency. ✅ White matter integrity declines, affecting brain connectivity and cognitive speed. The episode was hosted by Niraj Gupta & Muskan Mittal. The Science up! podcast is now streaming on all music/podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Gaana, JioSaavn.

Cancer got nerves!

Cancer has nerves—literally. We usually think of cancer as a rogue army of cells growing out of control. But what if we told you that cancer isn’t just running wild—it’s plugged in? In this episode, we unravel the cutting-edge field of Cancer Neuroscience. From gliomas hijacking neural circuits to prostate and gastric cancers using nerve pathways to spread, we break down how the nervous system isn’t just an observer—it’s a key player in cancer growth, metastasis, and even immune evasion. Can chronic stress fuel cancer? Can brain activity accelerate tumor growth? And could modulating neural signals be the next frontier in cancer treatment? Join us as we decode the mind-blowing science behind how nerves, neurotransmitters, and even stress shape cancer’s fate. Because fighting cancer might not just be about chemotherapy—it could also be about tweaking the brain. Host: Niraj Gupta, PhD Scholar at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Berhampur Co-host: Muskan Mittal, PhD scholar at the National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi. The Science up! podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts! Tune in to www.scienceup.in for more details

Why we Sleep?

We need sleep. Have you ever given it a thought- Why? We spend one-third of our lives sleeping- doing nothing. So why do we need sleep? What’s the science behind? And also your curious questions about sleep that we have received- like the amount of sleep you need, consequences of insufficient sleep and also oversleep. We are thankful to Dr Nasreen Akhtar, AIIMS, New Delhi for answering all our curious questions. The episode was hosted by Niraj Gupta and Muskan Mittal (Welcome to the Science up! Team) We answered, Why do we need Sleep- the science behind how much sleep do humans need Importance of getting enough sleep Can you actually compensate the amount of sleep you didn't take previous night Compromising sleep amid exams Consequences and long-term effects of insufficient sleep/ sleep loss What happens if a person doesn't sleep for a few days? Or sleep only for just few hours Effect of prolonged use of screens- mobile phones/laptops Is Oversleeping bad Connection of sleep and diseases like Alzeihmer's General advice on Sleep Hygiene and a quality sleep The podcast is running on every music/podcast platforms, just search Science up! or even google it.
