Cancer Prevention - Steven Chaney 2014
... • Cancer takes years to develop • There are many things we can do to reduce our risk. • We can’t control genetics • We can’t control all environmental factors • So never blame yourself or what you did or did not do. Steve Chaney PhD Dr. Chaney holds a B.S. in Chemistry from Duke University and a Ph. ...

When thus stimulated at the cell surface, a intracellular signalling cascade results in elevated intracellular calcium concentration in the form of calcium oscillations. Recent experimental s ...

Psychoneuroimmunology
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), also referred to as psychoendoneuroimmunology (PENI), is the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body. PNI takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating psychology, neuroscience, immunology, physiology, genetics, pharmacology, molecular biology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, infectious diseases, endocrinology, and rheumatology.The main interests of PNI are the interactions between the nervous and immune systems and the relationships between mental processes and health. PNI studies, among other things, the physiological functioning of the neuroimmune system in health and disease; disorders of the neuroimmune system (autoimmune diseases; hypersensitivities; immune deficiency); and the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the neuroimmune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.
