Is it true that orange juice can help ward off colds? How does age effect our immune system? Is mental health really connected to inflammation? We are surrounded by bold claims and quick fixes for 'boosting' our immune health. But one thing the science is clear on is that everyone's immune system is completely unique - what is good for one person may not work well for another. So how do we separate the bogus claims from the useful advice? And given its sheer complexity, is there anything we can do to improve our immune system? In this expert guide, world-leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis examines the effects of stress, diet, age, exercise, the microbiome and more on the immune system, punctures the key myths, sorts the fact from the fiction and equips us to make informed choices for ourselves.

Podtitul: Kam směřuje moderní medicína Představte si, že budeme dlouho dopředu vědět, s jakou pravděpodobností se u nás vyvine rakovina, že budeme mít k dispozici personalizované poznatky o svých genech, orgánech a buňkách nebo že snadno a přesně zjistíme, na jakou stravu si potrpí náš mikrobiom. Kniha Tajemství těla imunologa Daniela M. Davise ukazuje, jak vizionářští vědci odhalují neviditelný a utajený vesmír uvnitř každého z nás a jak se díky jejich práci stávají realitou dříve netušené možnosti. Autor se zaměřuje na šest klíčových oblastí - buňky, vývoj plodu, imunitní systém, mozek, mikrobiom a genom - a předkládá zcela nový biologický pohled na lidské tělo. Srozumitelně a s využitím nejnovějších vědeckých poznatků rozvíjí naše povědomí o tom, jak lidské tělo funguje, čeho je schopno, jak ho chránit před nemocemi a co v tomto směru pro nás všechny chystá budoucnost.

The immune system is essential to human health. Leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis explores how understanding its functions—and the effects of stress, sleep, age, and mindset—can revolutionize medicine and well-being. The body's ability to combat disease and self-heal remains one of nature's great mysteries. Recent research has significantly advanced our understanding of this complex network of cells, proteins, and genes that continuously protect us. The immune system is far more potent than any medicine, playing a vital role in our everyday lives. We are now harnessing these natural defenses to develop groundbreaking drugs and immunotherapies that combat cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and other age-related conditions. Additionally, we are beginning to explore whether practices like mindfulness can enhance our physical resilience. Written by a leading researcher, this narrative reveals a compelling tale of scientific investigation, highlighting solved puzzles and ongoing mysteries, as well as the sacrifices and triumphs involved in this journey. With clarity and insight, Davis presents a transformative understanding of the human body and the essentials of maintaining health.

Welcome to a revolution in the science of human health… This book takes us to the frontier of medical research and reveals stunning recent advances that are changing our understanding of how human body works, how we combat and prevent disease and how we understand what it means to be human. We see how super-resolution nano-scopes are revealing hitherto hidden operations within our cells and opening up new new ways of manipulating the immune system; how human embryos can now be preserved alive long enough to see how genetic abnormalities can be corrected during the early stages of foetal development; how light is being used to excite pathways in the brain allowing us to understand and manipulate thoughts and feelings; how our rapidly increasing understanding of the microbiome is radically changing every aspect of human biology… These and many more astonishing discoveries are related as gripping dramas of discovery by an award-winning scientist at the very forefront of this adventure.
