Episode notes
Autoimmunity and Pain
- Autoimmunity and pain are linked, especially with antibodies like Casper 2 and LGI 1.
- These antibodies affect the central nervous system and cause varying pain levels and responses to treatment.
Autophagy in Plants
- Plants, like humans, experience nutrient imbalances, affecting autophagy.
- Autophagy helps plants regulate nutrient balance, especially zinc and iron.
Autophagy and Stress
- Autophagy supports stressed cells by breaking them down and using the components to build new cells.
- This process allows cells to adapt to environmental changes, like metabolizing alcohol.
