🧬 A molecule from aging gut bacteria—ADP-heptose—enters the bloodstream, activates ALPK1, and triggers NF-κB signaling, driving the expansion of mutant blood stem cells. 🦠🧓

This discovery links gut health to leukemia risk and reveals new targets like ALPK1 and UBE2N for cancer prevention. 💥🩸

🧠 Big win for brains & blood pressure!

In a massive rural China trial (n=33,995), lowering BP with non-physician care ↓ dementia risk by 15%!

A scalable, lifesaving model for LMICs. 🌾💊📉
