Targeting Chronic Inflammation Via the Inflamasome - Dr. David Bearss
Chronic inflammation goes hand-in-hand with many diseases, complicating symptoms and affecting routes of treatment. What is the molecular basis of inflammation, and can it be targeted by new drugs? Scientists have studied the molecular basis of the inflammatory response and have identified specific proteins that complex to initiate the response. New drugs are showing promise in breaking the inflammatory cascade. Studies of genealogical records revealed additional targets that modify known genetic pathways that contribute to Alzheimer's, cancers and cardiovascular disease. Dr. David Bearss from Halia Therapeutics explains the roles of inflammation and the mechanisms behind several drug candidates that are targeting chronic inflammation.

カスタマーレビュー
very interesting, scientific and important infornmation
A few weeks ago I heard Dr. Kevin Folta interviewed on the Joe rogan show and was immediately taken by his scientific command of GMO topics combined with a genuine desire to arrive at the truth. Now Dr/ Folta has his own Podcast and continues his quest to educate the general public and to address critics of GMO.
If you have concerns about GMO or are a scientist who wants to challenge Dr. Folta in a Fact based then you are just the person he is wants on his show. As he says if you can uncover a real concern with GMO and expose a problem he would like to know about it and if well founded he will publish in scientific journals.
I tweeted him 2x with questions I had and he was kind enough to give me a quick reply with a very logical explanation. He is a seeker of the truth and wants to use science to improve our food / health.
