Published in Nature, this amazing discovery of distinct gut to brain vagal afferents that specifically regulate blood levels of both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines puts to rest the dispute that nerves can transmit immune signals from the periphery to brain (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07469-y). An international expert on circadian rhythms and her student at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign published an Editorial in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity Integrative on a recent paper on sleep disruption and cancer (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbii.2024.100070). These new data published in Cell Metabolism show that a metabolic shift to fatty acid oxidation caused by sleep disruption leads to cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2024.04.018). Consistent with the principles of Ying/Yang concepts in Traditional Chinese medicine, balance among organs is key to good health.
