This yeast supplement may boost cancer-fighting immunity

Health technology can be useful, but it becomes risky when people mistake consumer sensors for medical devices. The key is understanding what the data actually shows and what it doesn’t.

Reporting

SciTechDaily Health reports that Scientists Supercharge Natural Killer Cells To Attack Solid Tumors. Stanford Medicine researchers and colleagues found a way to make natural killer cells better at attacking cancer. In mice, the enhanced cells entered solid tumors and slowed their growth. One of the biggest successes of modern cancer treatment has been learning how to turn the immune system into a weapon. But that strategy has worked […] The key issue is evidence: what the device measures, how reliable the measurement is, who can safely use it, and where medical guidance is still needed.

ScienceDaily Top Health reports that This yeast supplement may boost cancer-fighting immunity. A simple yeast-based food supplement may help restore the immune system’s ability to fight cancer, according to new research in mice. Scientists found that yeast beta-glucan reprogrammed early immune cells in the bone marrow, leading to stronger, longer-lasting cancer-fighting responses against colorectal, skin, and breast cancer cells. The key issue is evidence: what the device measures, how reliable the measurement is, who can safely use it, and where medical guidance is still needed.
