One such common disease is ulcerative colitis (UC), which causes inflammation and sores in the digestive tract of affected individuals. Interestingly, the symptoms of UC are caused by many of the body s natural defense biomolecules gone rogue! A few examples include abnormal elevation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a and integrin levels. To treat UC, doctors prescribe several biologic therapies that act to bring down the elevated levels of these biomolecules.

Every country has holidays that are unique to that culture. Japan’s “Seijin-no-Hi,” or “Coming of Age” day this coming Monday is one we’d do well to endorse for ourselves.
The holiday is on the second Monday of the first month of each year. In Japan, the age of becoming an adult is 20. It’s a ritual celebrated throughout the country for 1,200 years.
