About 1-in-6 Americans suffer from an Autoimmune Disease, which is actually a growing problem.  In this episode, we talk about:—How Dr. Prather's career was inspired by his own battle with Graves' Disease, which is an Autoimmune Disease.  And why making sure the Atlas is in proper place is "critical" for Autoimmune Disease and needs to be corrected first before there can be any progress.—The various categories of Autoimmune Disease:  Joints and Muscles (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Myositis), Skin and Blood Vessels (Sjogren's Syndrome, Psoriatic Arthritis, Vitiligo), Digestive (Celiac Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis), the Endocrine System (Type I Diabetes, Addison's Disease, Hashimoto's, Thyroiditis, Graves' Disease), the Nervous System (Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain-Barre), the Lymphatic System (Fibromyalgia), and many more.—The different infections that can kick off Autoimmune Disease, including Viruses, Bacteria, Parasitic, or Fungal.   And how Heavy Metal Toxicities and Stress can cause of Autoimmune Disease.—Why the underlying cause of the Autoimmune Disease is more important to determine in Dr. Prather's Structure-Function Health Care model, while the Disease Care approach focuses on managing and suppressing the symptoms.  And the "huge" role that the Gut plays in Autoimmune Diseases.—The new cutting-edge area of drugs called Biologics and how they work.  And how Vaccines are actually classified as Biologics.—How Immunosuppressant Drugs can be helpful and life-saving, but can also increase your chances of Cancer and a shortened life-span.  And why Dr. Prather says, "The more drugs that you take, the longer you take them, the more likely you are to have an issue."—Why your ability to fight infections, viruses, fungal, and parasites "go way down" if you are taking an Immunosuppressant Drug.—How Dr. Prather himself and many of his patients are a "testament" that Medical Doctors are wrong when taught to believe that there is no hope of getting well from Autoimmune Disease.  And how the Structure-Function Care results he sees in his office disprove the Medical model's belief that symptoms should just be managed and that the patient will always get worse.—Why Dr. Prather says "we're not going to get anywhere" with an Autoimmune Disease if you have Heavy Metal toxicity.  And the importance of thorough diagnostics in Structure-Function Care to determine the root cause of the Autoimmune Disease that needs to be corrected.—The effectiveness of Structure-Function Care, which is "the only way you're going to make headway in an Autoimmune Disease".  And the reason Homeopathics are described by Dr. Prather as "a real key" for making dramatic changes in Autoimmune Disease.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

The party resumes their evening watch rotation, beginning with Arguile and Yurik, who open up to one another about their pasts, sharing stories that highlight their respective journeys. Zechs and The Turk take the second shift, engaging in a reflective conversation about the bonds they've built within the group. Although both acknowledge that their time together may be temporary, they find comfort in the growing trust between them. Zechs shares how he came to join Collateral, while The Turk discusses his pre-party life. For the final watch, Galahad fills in for Glad, who eventually joins alongside Salix. The three of them discuss divine manipulation, personal growth, and the heavy choices ahead, particularly those Galahad must soon face.The following day, the party begins their descent into the Underdark. Zechs casts darkvision on Galahad and The Turk, while Shanks rejoins the group after completing his ranger training. He and Yurik scout ahead for signs of purple worm tunnels, dangerous but potentially profitable. During this, Shanks opens up to The Turk about their respective warlock pacts, while Zechs takes a quiet moment to read a long-held note from Shanks. As they travel, Shanks and Salix harvest functional materials, and Yurik warns of the monstrous dangers that await in Ors Thurmar, jokingly betting Shanks a reward if he manages to slay one alone, a challenge Shanks eagerly accepts.Deeper into the Underdark, the group encounters multiple possible routes, each with its own dangers. Jolene scouts ahead, confirming the presence of enemies, while Zechs uses Speak with plants to communicate with the local fungi. A deal is struck: in exchange for information, the group will feed the mushrooms the corpses of their enemies. Arguile and the fungi exchange tense words, but Zechs smooths things over. As they travel on, concerns grow around the eerie energy of Yurik's sword, fiendish and undead in nature. Galahad walks with Yurik, questioning his aggressive demeanor toward the party. Before their talk can go further, Yurik charges into combat, signaling that the next fight is upon them.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral DamageTheme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed & Edited by Thomas Lapierre IIICheck out the show at themedusascascade.com

It all started harmlessly enough: People bought kits to grow mushrooms at home. But then, scientists in the upper Midwest noticed something strange. The golden oyster mushroom, which is not native to the United States, was thriving in local forests. Those homegrown mushrooms escaped our basements into the wild. Fungal ecologist Aishwarya Veerabahu joins Host Ira Flatow to discuss what impact these invasive mushrooms might have on the ecosystem.Plus, nightshade expert Sandra Knapp describes the evolution of the potato plant, and how a lucky crossbreeding millions of years ago may have given rise to the starchy tubers we eat today.Guests:Aishwarya Veerabahu is a fungal ecologist and PhD candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.Dr. Sandra Knapp is a Merit Researcher at the Natural History Museum in London.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

On today's episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Dr. Mark Lintern and Dr. Lintern shares his journey into cancer research began with a personal diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma at the age of 28, which propelled him to seek a deeper understanding of the disease. His initial confusion about the genetic causes of cancer led him to explore a variety of theories, especially after witnessing a friend's battle with cervical cancer. These experiences fueled his passion for uncovering the root causes of cancer and inspired him to challenge conventional wisdom in the field. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Len discusses several prevailing theories of cancer, including the somatic mutation theory, cancer stem cell theory, tissue organization field theory, atavistic theory, and viral theory. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these perspectives from a patient's point of view, as they inform different treatment approaches. Ultimately, Dr. Lintern finds the metabolic theory most compelling, particularly the Warburg effect, which describes how cancer cells shift their energy production from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. Dr. Lintern elaborates on the metabolic theory by explaining the critical role of mitochondria in cellular energy production and how their dysfunction leads to the Warburg effect. He introduces his own cell suppression theory, which posits that fungal pathogens can suppress mitochondrial function, thereby triggering the metabolic shift seen in cancer cells. This theory offers a new lens through which to view the hallmarks of cancer and suggests that targeting the underlying metabolic changes could be key to effective treatment. The discussion then turns to the role of fungal pathogens in cancer and the potential for innovative treatment strategies. Dr. Lintern highlights the cell danger response model, where mitochondria suppress energy production to combat pathogens, and discusses therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen, antifungal drugs, and dietary interventions. He also addresses the limitations of traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, advocating for approaches that reduce inflammation, improve the microbiome, and support the immune system. In the final part of the episode, Dr. Lintern offers practical recommendations for cancer prevention and treatment, including a plant-based diet rich in antimicrobial compounds, the use of medicinal mushrooms, and strategies to modulate the immune system. Dr. Lintern stresses the importance of personalized treatment plans that consider individual health profiles and the need for further research into the role of fungal pathogens in cancer. Dr. Lintern concludes by sharing resources from his book, "The Cancer Resolution," and encourages listeners to keep an open mind and explore new avenues in cancer research.Dr. Mark Lintern shares his personal journey into cancer research after being diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma at age 28, which led him to question conventional cancer theories.He explores and critiques various cancer theories, ultimately advocating for the metabolic theory and the Warburg effect as the most accurate explanations for cancer's hallmarks.Dr. Lintern introduces the cell suppression theory, suggesting that fungal pathogens suppress mitochondrial function and drive the metabolic changes seen in cancer cells.The discussion covers innovative treatment strategies, including hyperbaric oxygen, antifungal therapies, dietary interventions, and the importance of reducing inflammation and supporting the microbiome.Dr. Lintern emphasizes personalized, holistic approaches to cancer prevention and treatment, sharing insights from his book "The Cancer Resolution" and encouraging open-mindedness in cancer research.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Fungal infections and disease have long been overlooked in terms of healthcare burden, with poor diagnostics and limited options for treatment and management. In 2022, the WHO published its first Fungal Priority Pathogens List as an effort to establish a global prioritised framework that addresses unmet research and development needs in fungal disease and antifungal resistance, as well as guides public health action [1]. In this episode of Communicable, Angela Huttner and Josh Nosanchuk invite Hatim Sati (WHO), the project lead in creating this list, and Dimitrios Kontoyiannis (MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas), a clinician researcher studying fungal diagnostics and antifungal discovery, for a candid discussion on the making of and relevance of such a list. Apart from reviewing the fungal pathogens, the conversation also covers limitations of the list, what to expect for the next iteration, contextualising the list in one's local region, and the impact the list has had already on research funding and public awareness.This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Andrisa Xhaxha from Elbasan, Albania. ReferencesWHO fungal priority pathogens list to guide research, development and public health action.

Why can't we smell sweetness in sparkling wine? How much of what we “taste” in wine is influenced by its appearance and our expectations? What makes copper both a savior and a threat to viticulture? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sunny Hodge, author of the terrific new book, The Cynic's Guide to Wine. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of Sunny Hodge's terrific new book, The Cynic's Guide to Wine. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights Why is it important to look beyond wine characteristics and consider? How does The Cynic's Guide to Wine aim to challenge the way we talk about wine? Can fossilized oysters in vineyard soil really impart marine characteristics on the wine? Why should food and wine lovers know the story of Fitz Haber? What makes copper both a savior and a threat to viticulture? Why should we move away from the focus on wine flavours and instead use descriptors of what it truly offers? Where does the buttery flavour in wine come from? How does cork taint affect wine as well as our sense of smell and perception? Why do vines grown in cooler temperatures have more black pepper notes? How much of what we “taste” in wine is influenced by its appearance and our expectations? Why can't we smell sweetness in wine? Could sniffing slower change which aromas you detect in a wine? Why are humans more sensitive to bitter tastes versus sweet? How does adding ice to whiskey open up its aromas?   Key Takeaways The little CO₂ bubbles in sparkling wine dissolve in your saliva and form a physical barrier between certain molecules hitting your tongue and your ability to taste certain things. Sweetness, is the first thing that'll get blocked out. So, if you have a sparkling wine that has some sweetness, as your saliva builds up with bubbles, you won't perceive it. We in wine extrapolate a little bit and think, “It's a white wine,” so I may psychosomatically associate it with white peppery things, rather than a red wine, which might be black pepper. It's actually the same sesquiterpene, called rotundone. We just trick ourselves into perceiving it one way rather than the other. This happens a lot in wine. Copper is naturally antimicrobial and antifungal, which is why we use it in plumbing, hospitals, and as touchpads on doors. Fungal pests like downy and powdery mildew, which affect vines. We spray vines with copper base concoctions to prevent that fungus building up, which will destroy our harvests. But it's not just the heavy metal, but it when it rains, it'll hit your soils and affect earthworms and all of the things that we know to be really good for the soils, naturally. We stop our soil's ability to just look after itself. We haven't found a unified way to overcome downy and powdery mildew without the use of copper.   About Sunny Hodge Sunny Hodge is the sole founder of Diogenes the Dog and aspen & meursault; two multi award-winning wine bars associated with challenging the status quo of wine. He is in the process of developing a wine qualification, The Science of Wine Course. His book “The Cynic's Guide to Wine” delves into the science behind wine from soil upwards into our perception of taste and flavour to dispel wine myths using science. He is also a member of the Circle of Wine Writers. He is an International wine judge for IWSC awards, was recently shortlisted for the LWF Buyers Awards 2025 for both ‘On-Trade Multiple Venue Wine Buyer' and ‘Sustainable Wine Buyer of the Year'. Hodge is also a commentator and wine writer for the likes of Waitrose Food Magazine, Evening Standard, The Times, The Guardian, Food FM and Monocle Radio and ITV's Love Your Weekend.       To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/351.

Fungal infections, pregnancies, and hernias have been the most common health problems that technically knock out potential recruits into the UPDF in the ongoing recruitment exercise in the West Nile region.Arua Central Police Station hosted the exercise for the districts of Arua, Terego, Maracha, and Arua City conducted at the Engineering Workshop premises. The regional exercise was being headed by Brigadier General Jackson Kayanja, the deputy commander for UPDF 4th infantry division.The latest statistics show that out of the 57 shortlisted for recruitment for Maracha district, 48 turned up and 37 succeeded, Terego district had 50 slots, 48 candidates showed up and 29 were recruited.For Arua City 27 slots were available but the recruitment team received less that number, and out of the 79 available slots for Arua district, 59 applications were considered.Lt. Nasser Mene, the UPDF information officer for West Nile blames the failure to achieve the targets to the lack of required academic qualification and health challenges.

Fungal networks in the soil are arguably the basis of much of life on Earth, but they're understudied and underappreciated in the conservation world. Scientists at the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) are trying to fix that. They just unveiled a global map of mycorrhizal fungal networks, which highlights how widespread they are and how little protection they have. Host Flora Lichtman talks with two of the SPUN mapmakers, Adriana Corrales and Michael Van Nuland, about the importance of fungal networks and why they need more protection.Guests: Dr. Adriana Corrales is a forest ecologist and scientist with the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks.

110. Psychedelic Salon: Have a Good TripWhy are so many women turning to psilocybin—and what don't they know they're missing? In this Salon, April Pride hosts Eugenia Bone, celebrated food and nature writer, and Renee Davis, mycologist and environmental engineer, for a candid, science-rooted discussion about Eugenia's new book Have a Good Trip. Together, they explore how psilocybin mushrooms sit at the crossroads of personal curiosity, ecological science, and an emerging industry still battling misinformation. From the surprising realities of “bad trips,” to what fungi can teach us about systems thinking—and even why the DEA leaves some mushroom churches alone—this conversation balances personal stories with journalistic rigor. It's a must-listen for anyone seeking clarity in the swirl of psychedelic headlines.

The adaptability of fungi to warmer temperatures is an obvious consequence of climate change. Perhaps less obvious is the role climate change has played on fungal pathogens emerging as a global health concern. While humans are mostly protected from fungal infections by our immune system and body temperature, a warming global climate could subvert the status quo. Some fungi are already adapted to warmer temperatures and causing invasive acute infections in humans: Candidozyma auris, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus, to name a few.  In this episode of Communicable, Angela Huttner and Josh Nosanchuk invite Arturo Casadevall, a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins and this year's recipient of ESCMID's Excellence in Science Award, to discuss the world of fungi and their pathogenic potential in a warming world. Other topics include how to prepare for their emergence as a health threat, how fungi can be harnessed for applications that can benefit us, and ultimately answering the question Casadevall himself posed in the title of his recently published book, What if fungi win?This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Robin Aerts of University Hospital Antwerp, Belgium.  References1.        Casadevall, A with Desmon S.

In this episode, we detail Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO), with a focus on fungal biofilm formation and its role in promoting microbial persistence and evasion of host immune responses. We discuss the phenotypic plasticity of Candida species, as well as biofilm matrices adherent to the intestinal mucosa. We further highlight common symptoms of SIFO as well as the effects of hypochlorhydria, reduced pancreatic enzyme and bile output, impaired motility, diminished commensal bacterial populations, and weakened mucosal immunity.Topics: 1. Introduction- Focus on the gut mucosal barrier.- Emphasis on Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO) and biofilms.2. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy- The mucosa: epithelium, lamina propria, and a thin band of smooth muscle.- The epithelial layer.- Covered by protective mucus composed of mucin glycoproteins secreted by goblet cells.- In the small intestine: less dense mucus.3. Epithelial Integrity- Tight junctions.- Paracellular barrier preventing uncontrolled antigen passage.4. Lamina Propria5. Overview of Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO)- SIFO involves fungal overgrowth in the small intestine, commonly Candida species.- Small intestines: Low microbial density due to motility, gastric acid, bile acids, immune surveillance, and more.- Contributing factors: hypochlorhydria, impaired motility, reduced digestive enzymes, diminished competitive flora, lowered immunity, and more.6. Candida Pathogenicity- Candida exhibits phenotypic plasticity: yeast and hyphal forms.- Biofilm formation.7. Biofilm Formation- Biofilms are structured communities of microbes within a self-produced extracellular matrix.- Resistance to antimicrobials and immune defenses.- Can develop on intestinal mucosa and in various other regions.8. SIFO and SIBO Overlap- Root causes and overlap between SIFO and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).- Common symptoms.9. Gastric Acid in More Detail- Stomach epithelium includes mucous, parietal, chief, and enteroendocrine cells- Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid.- HCl denatures proteins and aids in inhibiting pathogens.- Hypochlorhydria: possible causes. 10. Downstream Effects of Low Acid11. Gut Motility in More Detail- Motility involves rhythmic smooth muscle contractions.- Enteric nervous system (ENS): myenteric and submucosal plexuses.- Dysautonomia and motility.12. SIFO Contributing Factors13. Candida Regulation- Candida generally remains in unicellular yeast form under homeostatic regulation.- Controlled by microbial competition, host defenses, antifungal peptides, and more.14. Role of Mucus and sIgA- Mucosal immunity (including sIgA) aids in regulating Candida populations.- Low sIgA levels (due to stress, immune suppression, dysbiosis,…) weaken defense 15. Conclusion- Mucosal barrier structure.- SIFO and Candida.- Biofilm formation, microbial persistence, and mucosal disruption.- SIFO and SIBO.- Multifactorial nature of fungal dysbiosis, types of biofilms, and small intestinal overgrowth.Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

In this conversation, Dr. Ami Kapadia discusses the complex relationship between Candida and allergies, emphasizing that many patients may not just have a fungal overgrowth but could also be experiencing an allergic reaction to Candida. The discussion covers the importance of understanding Candida as a commensal organism, the connection between allergies and Candida, testing methods for diagnosis, and treatment options including sublingual immunotherapy. The conversation also touches on the role of the immune system, the impact of diet, and the connection between heavy metals and Candida.TakeawaysCandida can be an allergen, not just an infection.Terminology in medicine is crucial for patient understanding.Allergic predisposition can lead to Candida allergies.Testing for Candida allergies often requires allergist involvement.Sublingual immunotherapy can be effective for Candida allergies.The immune system's response to Candida is complex.Chronic conditions may complicate Candida treatment.Diet plays a significant role in managing Candida.Heavy metals may influence Candida overgrowth.A thorough patient history is essential for effective treatment.

People living with diabetes often focus on managing blood sugars, medications, and diet — but skin health is an equally important and often overlooked part of the picture. In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman sits down with Dr. Tanya Nino, a board-certified dermatologist, to explore the skin conditions commonly seen in people with diabetes. From everyday concerns like dry, itchy skin to more serious fungal infections and rare complications like necrobiosis lipoidica, Dr. Nino offers clear explanations, helpful tips, and guidance on when to seek medical care. This episode is packed with practical advice to help people living with diabetes better protect and care for their skin.Key Topics:Dry skin in people with diabetes often results from impaired barrier function and poor circulation, increasing the risk of cracks, infection, and delayed healing.Yeast infections in skin folds are more common when high blood sugar and trapped moisture allow Candida to thrive, particularly under the breasts, groin, or abdomen.Fungal infections like athlete's foot and nail fungus are harder to treat in diabetes and can lead to serious foot complications if not managed early.Chronic itching and the itch-scratch cycle are common with dry diabetic skin and can worsen inflammation and skin damage without proper care.Dark skin patches (acanthosis nigricans) may signal insulin resistance and are often seen on the neck or underarms in people with type 2 diabetes.Shin spots (diabetic dermopathy) are harmless but visible signs of microvascular damage from long-term diabetes, often triggered by minor trauma.Skin tags in high-friction areas are linked to insulin resistance and may be an early physical marker of metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes.Necrobiosis lipoidica, a rare condition in type 1 diabetes, causes fragile reddish plaques on the shins that can ulcerate and require dermatologic care.Skin care for people with diabetes is essential to prevent infections, detect warning signs early, and protect overall health. ★ Support this podcast ★

What is Fusarium graminearum and why were scientists allegedly smuggling it into the US? Also, Alpine Glacier collapse and an HIV capitulation.The FBI has accused two Chinese scientists of trying to smuggle a dangerous crop fungus into the US, calling it a potential agro-terrorist threat. But the fungus has long been widespread across US farms, and elsewhere, and is treatable. So what's going on? Frédéric Suffert, Senior researcher in plant disease epidemiology at France's National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment, gives us some insight.Last week, a glacier above the swiss village of Blatten collapsed and up to 12 million tonnes of ice and rock buried the idyllic, yet thankfully all-but evacuated, hamlet below. Daniel Farinotti of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology explains how it was monitored more than any such event before, and maybe, despite the tragedy, could help inform the science of such events in a warming world.Amongst the latest cuts to scientific funding by the US government, two consortia working at advanced stages of a potential HIV vaccine have been told their funding will not continue. Dennis Burton of Scripps Research describes finding out.The recipient of the Royal Society Faraday Prize 2024 gave his prize lecture last week. Titled Science Under Threat: The Politics of Institutionalised Disinformation, Salim Abdul Karim's lecture is available on YouTube. Afterwards, he was kindly able to have a chat with Science in Action about his theme.

Fungal diseases are becoming more common, more dangerous, and more difficult to treat. There's concern that they may cause the next global pandemic. Rising global temperatures, better survival rates for vulnerable patients, and increased medical interventions contribute to the rise in fungal infections. Access to effective diagnostics and treatment remains limited, with significant disparities between high and low-income countries. Treating fungal infections is becoming more challenging as they build resistance to the drugs used to treat them. New therapies are being developed, including treatments that disrupt fungal DNA replication or interfere with essential proteins, offering some hope for long-term control.Contributors: Adilia Warris, Professor in Paediatric Infectious Diseases, University of Exeter, UKRita Oladele, Professor of Clinical Microbiology, University of Lagos and Lagos University Teaching Hospital, NigeriaArturo Casadevall, Professor and Chair of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USMichael Bromley, Professor in Fungal Disease, University of Manchester, UKPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Louise Clarke Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: Richard Hannaford Production co-ordinator: Tammy Snow(Image: Aspergillus fumigatus, seen under an optical microscope.

In this encore episode, we detail the intestinal mycobiome and the mechanisms by which beneficial microbes aid in regulating opportunistic fungal species: Candida albicans. We discuss Candida overgrowth virulence and how disruptions in microbial balance, immune function, and epithelial integrity impact Candida's pathogenicity. Additionally, we discuss the role of mast cells in the lamina propria, their involvement in mucosal immunity, and how Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) can be exacerbated by fungal dysbiosis / microbial imbalances.Topics: 1. Introduction - The intestinal mycobiome and its role in intestinal health.  - Regulating populations of opportunistic fungal species like Candida albicans.- Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) intro.   2. Structure of the Intestinal Barrier- The microbiome and mucus layer: microbes, mucins, antimicrobial peptides, sIgA.- The epithelial monolayer: enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, enteroendocrine cells…- Tight junction proteins and paracellular transport.- The lamina propria beneath the epithelium: immune cells and more. 3. Candida's Pathogenicity and Barrier Disruption- Exists primarily in its yeast form, regulated by microbial competition, host immune defenses, antifungal peptides.  - Secretory IgA (sIgA) and immune surveillance mechanisms help regulate fungal populations. - Chronic stress, immune suppression, and dysbiosis can deplete sIgA, increasing susceptibility to Candida proliferation.  - Environmental triggers such as immune suppression, microbial depletion, inflammatory cytokines.- Yeast-to-hyphal transition, deeper tissue invasion.  - Secreted aspartyl proteinases (SAPs), phospholipases, candidalysin: epithelial damage.- Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and overgrowth detection. 4. Impact of Beneficial Bacteria on Candida Overgrowth  - Beneficial bacteria compete with Candida for nutrients and epithelial adhesion sites.  - Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by beneficial bacteria.- Depletion of beneficial bacteria removes ecological resistance, allowing Candida to proliferate unchecked.   5. Mast Cells in the Lamina Propria and Their Role in Intestinal Immunity- Mast cell location - Upon activation, mast cells release histamine, cytokines, proteases, and more that regulate gut immune responses.  - Histamine can increase gut permeability and modulate local immune activation.  - Tryptase and chymase. - Pro-inflammatory cytokines.  6. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - Mast cell hyperactivation.- Environmental triggers, toxins, chronic infections, and stress. - Candida overgrowth and mast cell activation.- Addressing microbial imbalances and reducing the body's total microbial, chemical, and toxin burden.- A diverse microbiome.   7. Conclusion- Candida overgrowth and regulation via immune defenses and beneficial bacterial competition.- MCAS, root cause approach.Get Chloe's Book Today!

Today we're diving into the underground world of fungi with Olga from Mushroom Mountain. She grew up foraging mushrooms in the forests of Bosnia and Hercegovina, learning from her grandparents which ones to eat, which to toss, and how to live with the land instead of just on it. These days, she runs Mushroom Mountain, a powerhouse operation producing spawn for edible and medicinal varieties, plus mushroom extracts and honeys under the Mycomatrix label. But that's just scratching the surface. Olga also leads a wild mushroom food safety certification program that's FDA-endorsed and accepted by seven states so far. She's … Continue reading →

Fungal parasites like the ones shown in The Last of Us might not be starting up a zombie apocalypse anytime soon but that doesn't mean they're not causing trouble in other ways. Host Dr. Samantha Yammine speaks with Dr. Carolyn Elya, a mycologist specializing in fungi's unique ability to take over the brains of insects. They discuss how that compares with the fungal zombies in the show and whether concerns over fungal influence on our brains are legitimate. Sam also explores how researchers were recently able to bend soundwaves creating what they call, “Audible Enclaves.” Then, Sam answers the age-old question: how do mRNA vaccines really work? Tune into the second season of The Last of Us, premiering April 13th on Max.

Fungal networks in the ground ferry crucial nutrients to plants. But how do brainless organisms form complex supply chain networks? Also, in this year's baseball spring training, the new Automated Ball-Strike System is helping settle challenges to home plate pitch calls.Scientists Observe Fungi Creating Complex Supply ChainsAs the leaves start to pop out, it's natural to look up and admire the trees. But actually, there's a lot of action happening underneath your feet. Beneath you is a complex network of fungal trade routes carrying essential nutrients to the roots of plants, mined from the soil by fungus. It's a subterranean supply chain.But how exactly do these complex networks form? How does the fungus decide where to ship which resources, or where to build roads? Basically, how does a brainless thread make decisions?Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Dr. Toby Kiers, an author on a recent study of those networks, and professor of evolutionary biology at Vrije University in Amsterdam. She's also the executive director of the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN).A Rookie Robot Umpire Takes The FieldBaseball fans are eagerly awaiting opening day. And while spring training is a time for teams to test out new players and strategies, it's also a time for Major League Baseball to trial new rules and procedures. One of the things that the league has been testing this year is a robotic system to call balls and strikes.The Automated Ball-Strike System, which is based on the same technology used for line judging in tennis, isn't calling every pitch, but is used to back up a challenge system at the plate. The tech is already in use in Triple-A games, and could make it to the major leagues in the years ahead. Baseball writer Davy Andrews joins Host Ira Flatow to talk about the technology, and how it could subtly change the rules of the game.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
