The blood-brain barrier prevents harmful substances from reaching the brain.

However, it can also make it hard to deliver medications to treat brain disorders.

In @TheLancetNeuro, authors discuss challenges around the therapeutic delivery to the brain: https://t.co/ObnW215JbH

From a space for cars to a place for people in one of my favourite client cities, Groningen Netherlands. Another powerful before-and-after transformation 1960s vs 2021.

In recent years one of the city’s biggest challenges has been where to put all the parked bikes… seriously.

What share of cancers are caused by infections?

Certain pathogens, like viruses and bacteria, can cause long-term inflammation or directly damage DNA in ways that eventually lead to cancer.

For example, hepatitis B and C viruses are key drivers of liver cancer. Some types of the human papillomavirus are responsible for cervical cancer. The bacterium H. pylori can cause stomach ulcers and cancers.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer estimates that around 13% of cancers overall are directly caused by infections, as the chart shows.

For some cancer types, they estimate that infections cause nearly all cases. They’re listed at the top of the chart and include cervical cancer, T-cell leukemia and lymphoma, and non-cardia stomach cancer.

This is an area where prevention can be very powerful: by tackling the infections that cause them, we can stop these cancers before they start.

Vaccines for human papillomavirus and hepatitis B have already been developed and have lowered cancer rates in younger generations. Additionally, antibiotics for H. pylori, antiviral treatments, and improved hygiene can dramatically reduce the risks of other infections.

Los azúcares añadidos y edulcorantes NO deben ser consumidos de manera regular, en especial entre niñas y niños pequeños, pues alteran señalizaciones metabólicas y pueden causar enfermedades. Ademas, al consumirlos nuestro o aladar se acostumbra a sabores extremadamente dulces, lo que provoca el rechazo a alimentos naturales como frutas. Acostumbra tu paladar a sabores dulces provenientes de alimentos frescos y naturales como las frutas.
