Key Points: 
  • Pow.Bio’s goal is to unlock the economic viability of sustainable biomade products by significantly driving down the high costs associated with biomanufacturing.
  • The simple fact is that synthetic biology companies today are unable to manufacture products at a price that can displace unsustainable petrochemical or animal derived alternatives.
  • “Early on, we identified continuous fermentation as a necessity to enable cost-competitive, sustainable food production,” said Peter Odemark, co-founder and Managing Partner at Gullspång Re:food.
  • Many in this space blame the challenge of cost effective manufacturing on a lack of commercial scale fermentation capacity.

Most people know that the risk factors for heart disease are high blood pressure, smoking, raised cholesterol and being overweight.

Key Points: 
  • Most people know that the risk factors for heart disease are high blood pressure, smoking, raised cholesterol and being overweight.
  • However, many people who have a heart attack do not have any of these traditional risk factors.
  • Research has suggested that conditions such as gout, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis are also risk factors for heart disease.
  • Long-term inflammation of the arteries supplying the heart and brain can eventually lead to heart attacks and strokes.
  • Because this chronic inflammatory process happens silently, many patients without traditional risk factors for heart disease will not be aware that they are at an increased risk of heart disease.

Measuring inflammation

    • However, the study was considered groundbreaking in that it supported the hypothesis that inflammation plays an important role in ASCVD, and that targeting inflammation may be useful to reduce the risk of repeat cardiovascular events.
    • Also, this may enable us to focus on treating inflammation in order to reduce cardiovascular risk.
    • Already, several studies are looking at using cheaper anti-inflammatory drugs, such as colchicine and methotrexate, to reduce inflammation and prevent the progression of cardiovascular disease.

Lifestyle changes to reduce inflammation

    • Fortunately, it is possible to reduce inflammation in our bodies without resorting to drugs.
    • Losing weight around your midsection will help to reduce this inflammation.
    • By making anti-inflammatory choices and leading a healthy lifestyle we can all reduce our chances of developing heart disease and improve our quality of life.
