An international team of scientists has identified a molecule that protects against inflammation An international team of scientists has identified the link between diet and immunity, mediated through the intestinal microflora. Experiments on mice have shown that the production of metabolic by-products of microbes in the intestine depends on the diet, which, in turn, affects the immune defense. The results of the study are published in the journal Nature. In a series of experiments, the team identified a cascade of immune signals triggered by the metabolic breakdown of dietary amino acids in the gut of a mouse. The animal first consumes food containing BCAAs, which are then absorbed by the Bacteroides fragilis bacterialiving in the intestines. The bacterium, in turn, produces branched-chain liposaccharides, which are captured by immune signaling cells known as antigen-presenting cells. Antigen-presenting cells act as activators of another class of immune cells, natural killer cells. It is

An interactive installation appeared in Poland in the form of lungs to demonstrate the harm of emissions … On the main streets of cities, activists have placed interactive sculptures in the form of human lungs, which demonstrate the quality of local air and the impact of emissions on the body.

At the time of installation, the installation is white, but after two weeks it turns gray or even black. The activists decided to bring the sculpture to 41 cities in order to draw the attention of residents to the environmental problem. “We are confident that the campaign will have a result.
