Micronutrient deficiencies compromise immune systems, hinder child growth and development, and affect human potential worldwide. Yet, to our knowledge, the only existing estimate of the global prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies is from over 30 years ago and is based only on the prevalence of anaemia. We aimed to estimate the global and regional prevalence of deficiency in at least one of three micronutrients among preschool-aged…

Roger Davis Deutsch | Cell Science Systems Cells Science Systems: Dedicated to improving health through Innovation Do you remember the first time when you had an allergy due to a particular food item? Did you know that every five minutes, a food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room? Millions of people are affected by food allergies, and most of them have potentially life-threatening…

Personalized blood tests can aid immunity by revealing nutritional deficiencies, notes study 10 Apr 2020 — Blood tests can reveal micronutrient and antioxidant deficiencies and allow a personalized way to bolster immunity and protect the body’s cells. This is according to a new study from Cell Science Systems, a device manufacturer specializing in preventive medical lab tests that measure how the immune system responds to…

Research identifies key role of CXCL9 cytokine in age-related chronic inflammation By Angela Betsaida B. Laguipo, BSNJul 14 2021 An inflammatory-aging clock called developed by Stanford University School of Medicine and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging can predict how strong your immune system will be in 10 years, when you’ll become frail or whether you may develop cardiovascular diseases a few years down the…

Cell Science Systems Reports Newly Discovered Cause of Delayed Food Allergies (Sensitivities) July 13, 2021 08:08 AM Eastern Daylight Time DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Food allergy is an increasing problem and one that is not yet fully understood. However, researchers from University Leipzig (Germany) and Georgetown University together with Cell Science Systems may have found the key to understanding the most difficult type of food allergies…

At-home genetic test kits face scrutiny for providing information that may provide consumers with an incomplete picture of their genetic health risks and ancestry Genetic testing for disease risk and heritage are hugely popular. But though clinical laboratory and pathology professionals understand the difference between a doctor-ordered genetic health risk (GHR) test and a direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic test, the typical genetic test customer may not. And misunderstanding the…

Study demonstrates benefits of weight loss, improved body composition, by avoiding food sensitivities in obese subjects Researchers at University of Texas, Galveston, in collaboration with Cell Science Systems, Corp., recently reported in the British Journal of Gastroenterology, results of a one-year weight loss study. The study, entitled, Food Allergen Elimination for Obesity Reduction; a Longitudinal, Case-Control Trial, was designed to examine the weight loss and…

The New Year is the time when everyone looks back and swears not to repeat the mistakes of the past year by making firm resolutions to eat healthy, exercise more, and lose the extra pounds. The fact that we do so every year implies that many of us did not achieve our hopes despite our resolutions last year, the year before that, and so on.…

Overwhelmed by the plethora of food sensitivity tests your patients ask about? The Alcat Test  for Food and Chemical Sensitivities is the most reliable.  But is it an IgG test? Nutrition is biochemistry and one size does not fit all When it comes to achieving good nutrition and being on the path to optimal health, individualization is crucial.   As described by Roger Williams, author of…

Researchers discover a key player in tumor energy metabolism that holds promise for new cancer treatments with fewer side-effects. Tumours are characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, which is sustained by a series of cellular reactions to produce the energy and molecular building blocks for replication. This process, called cancer cell metabolism, relies on the activity of many proteins and enzymes involved in metabolic pathways. Scientists…
