Since we know the signatures of these cancer cells from all the different cancer genome sequencing projects, we can look for those signals in the blood to be able to detect these cancers early.

So instead of waiting for cancers to be large enough to cause symptoms, or for them to be dense enough to show up on imaging, or for them to be prominent enough for you to be able to visualize on medical procedures, we can start looking for cancers while they are relatively pretty small, by looking for these small amounts of DNA in the blood.

Then the blood is shipped to us, and what we do is extract the DNA out of it.

We then apply statistical and computational methods to be able to find the small signal that's present, indicative of the small amount of cancer DNA in the blood.

During this whole time, we've been collecting blood serially to be able to measure the amount of ctDNA in the blood.

So at the initial time point, as expected, there's a high level of cancer DNA in the blood.

However, around day 340, we see the rise of cancer DNA in the blood, and eventually, it goes up higher for days 400 and 450.

Here's the key, if you've missed it: At day 340, we see the rise in the cancer DNA in the blood.

Ultimately, I have a dream, a dream of two vials of blood, and that, in the future, as part of all of our standard physical exams, we'll have two vials of blood drawn.

And from these two vials of blood we will be able to compare the DNA from all known signatures of cancer, and hopefully then detect cancers months to even years earlier.

Even more surprisingly, a recent study found that the light receptors in our eyes also play a role in our blood vessels.

We've identified a number of different olfactory and taste receptors in the kidney, one of which, olfactory receptor 78, is known to be expressed in cells and tissues that are important in the regulation of blood pressure.

When this receptor is deleted in mice, their blood pressure is low.

After being produced by your gut microbiota, these chemicals are absorbed into your bloodstream where they can then interact with receptors like olfactory receptor 78, meaning that the changes in metabolism of your gut microbiota may influence your blood pressure.

For example, one thing your sugars are telling us is your blood type.

So your blood cells, your red blood cells, are coated with sugars, and the chemical structures of those sugars determine your blood type.

So for example, I know that I am blood type O. How many people are also blood type O? Put your hands up.

It's a pretty common one, so when so few hands go up, either you're not paying attention or you don't know your blood type, and both of those are bad.

But for those of you who share the blood type O with me, what this means is that we have this chemical structure on the surface of our blood cells: three simple sugars linked together to make a more complex sugar.

And that, by definition, is blood type O. Now, how many people are blood type A? Right here.

And how many people are blood type B? Quite a few.

And when this was figured out, which is now back in the previous century, this enabled one of the most important medical procedures in the world, which, of course, is the blood transfusion.

And by knowing what your blood type is, we can make sure, if you ever need a transfusion, that your donor has the same blood type, so that your body doesn't see foreign sugars, which it wouldn't like and would certainly reject.

One of the stories she told was that if you eat a lot of salt, all of the blood rushes up your legs, through your body, and shoots out the top of your head, killing you instantly.

She called it "high blood pressure."

The highly profiled case of Ryan White in 1985, who was a 13-year-old hemophiliac who had contracted HIV from a contaminated blood treatment, and this marked the most profound shift in America's perception of HIV.

It can be transmitted through blood, sexual fluids like semen or vaginal fluids and breast milk.

If you're habitually a negative thinker, you typically see a stressful situation with a threat stress response, meaning if your boss wants to see you, you automatically think, "I'm about to be fired," and your blood vessels constrict, and your level of the stress hormone cortisol creeps up, and then it stays up, and over time, that persistently high level of the cortisol actually damps down your telomerase.

On the other hand, if you typically see something stressful as a challenge to be tackled, then blood flows to your heart and to your brain, and you experience a brief but energizing spike of cortisol.

Reading a drop of blood could tell you why you got a fever, or it tells you which medicine and dosage needs to be used when you're sick, especially for cancer.
