Internal "clocks" of immune cells are essential for the proper functioning of metabolism
In order for our bodies to efficiently transform into fat the excess carbohydrates we eat, in a process of “lipogenesis”, two things must happen. First, the immune system's gamma-delta T cells, a type of lymphocytes that are present in large quantities in adipose tissue (a.k.a. fat), have to produce a substance that triggers lipogenesis, called IL-17.

Alzheimer’s: each case is a case on its own
“I’m exactly as I was 10 years ago”, says Kina García, a Spanish woman from the Granada region, as she addresses by Zoom, from her home, the audience of the International Conference on Neurodegenerative Diseases, gathered on a Saturday morning at the Champalimaud Foundation’s auditorium, in Lisbon. The date is appropriate: it is September 21 – World Alzheimer's Day.
Moving Beyond 2025
This 2-day conference organised by the Champalimaud Foundation, in partnership with Faculdade de Motricidade Humana, will provide an overview of the scientific landscape in the area of physical activity and cancer, from prevention to rehabilitation and survivorship.
These are exciting times for research in this space as physical activity becomes more widely recognised as a powerful partner in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
