Explore the science behind cold plunges and how they transform your cells for better health and cold tolerance.

Enduring a week’s worth of cold water plunges can jolt the body’s cells into starting the process of autophagy to clean up ...

Cold plunges have become a fixture on wellness feeds and gym schedules. But what does science say when you strip away the ...

Physiological Roles of Autophagy How much and what parts of the cell can be eaten without causing cell death? Scientists hypothesized that the level of autophagy and the cargo specificity must be ...

A new study from the University of Ottawa finds repeated cold plunges may improve cellular health and resilience by enhancing ...

This study, though small (just 10 young men), suggests that cold exposure can activate molecular pathways associated with ...

This study shows that poor oral health — particularly gum infections caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis — could make heart ...

However, when cells experience oxidative stress, H 2 O 2 levels can lead to autophagic failure and eventually cell death. But how? To get an answer to that and understand how autophagy can go ...

Indeed, recent research indicates that there are other forms of programmed cell death, including an intracellular degradation process known as autophagy, which we found SAHA can trigger. Currently, we ...

These disruptions ultimately resulted in Purkinje cell death and motor gait dysfunction, underscoring the critical role of ...

A new study conducted at the Human and Environmental Physiology Research lab (HEPRU) at the University of Ottawa has unveiled ...
