Meet the immune signals IL-8 and MCP-1 and the research question linking them to homocysteine.

See how IL-8 and MCP-1 feature in research on kidney inflammation and scarring.

Learn why an IL-8 result alone cannot locate an infection.

Most people have never heard of homocysteine , yet this small molecule may hold the key to understanding inflammation, cardiovascular disease, neurological problems, and many chronic conditions. For decades, homocysteine was viewed as a toxic substance in the blood. Doctors were taught that lowering it with B-vitamins might reduce heart disease risk. But research results were inconsistent, leaving many physicians unsure whether homocysteine truly mattered. New research and clinical observations are changing that view. We introduce a new framework called the Purser Model , which explains why ho

…tokines (with a high homocysteine the cytokines created are IL8 and MCP1). Cytokines are these little proteins in our body that in microscopic amounts clear out old senescent cells). But with homocysteine genetics these are massively over-p…

Glutathione is part of the body’s antioxidant network.

Chronic inflammatory response syndrome, or CIRS, is a term used in some clinical discussions of persistent symptoms after environmental exposures.
