INPP5E's impact on medulloblastoma
We examined how INPP5E influences Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling in medulloblastoma, a common pediatric brain tumor. By using a murine model, we found that deleting INPP5E reduced tumor growth, cell proliferation, and SHH signaling while causing a loss of cilia on tumor cells.

Our findings suggest that INPP5E is crucial for maintaining primary cilia and promoting tumor progression. Interestingly, we observed that lower levels of INPP5E in human samples correlated with better survival outcomes, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in combating SHH medulloblastoma.

We explored the effects of inositol treatment on medulloblastoma, which is a leading cause of brain tumors in children. Specifically, we found that some medulloblastoma cells showed a unique sensitivity to changes in inositol metabolism due to the presence of the BMI1 gene.

Our research focused on a particular sub-group of this tumor that is characterized by a specific gene signature known as BMI1;CHD7. We discovered that treatment with a compound derived from inositol, called IP6, could effectively counteract the aggressive behaviors of these tumors, particularly through blocking the activation of a key metabolic pathway called mTOR.

Additionally, our findings revealed that IP6 does not just work in isolation. When combined with cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug, IP6 enhanced the drug's ability to kill tumor cells in laboratory settings. This combination also proved beneficial in a pre-clinical model, where it extended survival in mice with tumors that mirrored human medulloblastoma.

Overall, our study suggests that inositol and its derivatives could offer a novel avenue for treatment, particularly for tumors that carry the BMI1;CHD7 signature. However, we emphasize the need for further research to fully understand the potential benefits and mechanisms at play.

Reduced headaches

This supplement aids in the correct transmission of nerve impulses in the body. Choline and inositol are essential B vitamins necessary for brain, nervous system health, and fatty acid metabolism. I combine these with True Calm and have found noticeable relaxation, with almost no daily headaches. My mind remains clear until evening, which greatly enhances my concentration and overall performance.

Improved speech clarity

These are superb pills! A friend ordered them for my child. Following difficult pregnancy and childbirth, the baby had elevated bilirubin, which kills neurons in the brain, causing speech complications. For ages, I couldn't speak as neurologists had no solutions. Taking charge, I searched online and found out about choline and inositol. We tried Now Foods, Choline and Inositol, and a month later, as if a barrier had been removed, he began speaking clearly and constructing sentences. My son is now 5 years old. I highly recommend it! I've ordered more for the entire family to support memory and recover from illness.

Great for the brain! Hello everyone! I was searching for dietary supplements to aid my brain since I have to learn vast information. I decided to try Choline with Inositol. The capsules are of a normal size and easy to swallow. I liked the outcome; I take it alongside DMAE from the same manufacturer. My mood is more balanced, sleep is calmer, and my memory functions perfectly. Thank you, IHerb!

Improved mental cycles

I've been using NOW's choline & inositol for over 10 years. Without it, my quality of life would decline. I deal with anxiety and repetitive thoughts; this supplement breaks that cycle. If I miss a dose, I quickly feel my brain reverting to negative thoughts. However, taking it again calms my mind and helps me regain focus.

Cycle normalization

Works! An excellent complex from a well-known brand! I originally acquired it to strengthen my nervous system and nerve fibres, but upon learning about its benefits for women's health, I used it for that as well. It helped normalise my cycle, which had been disrupted by severe stress. I took choline-inositol with NAC and Omega 3-6-9, and everything improved. I also bought it for my husband for brain and liver health. I am satisfied with the results and wholeheartedly recommend it.
