How Stress Signals From the Brain May Drive Liver Cancer

Deep dive here: https://open.substack.com/pub/staycuriousmetabolism/p/the-molecule-linking-liver-health?r=40ekz2&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true New research suggests chronic stress can influence liver cancer risk through a brain–liver signaling pathway. Stress signals may alter liver gene expression, reduce NAD levels, and impair mitochondrial function in CD8 T cells, weakening immune surveillance. This creates conditions that may allow cancer cells to grow and proliferate.
