Natural communication breakdown in aging
A naturally produced compound rewinds aspects of age-related demise in mice. Researchers have discovered a cause of aging in mammals that may be reversible. The essence of this finding is a series of molecular events that enable communication inside cells between the nucleus and mitochondria. As communication breaks down, aging accelerates. By administering a moleculeContinue reading “Natural communication breakdown in aging”
Diet and exercise for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson
Recent studies report that diet can mediate the vasculoplastic reserve of the hippocampus. For example, consuming high levels of cocoa flavanols increased capillary density and enhanced dentate gyrus-associated cognitive function in cognitively normal healthy subjects. This suggests an interaction between vasculoplasticity and neuronal plasticity during normal aging and dementia, but how this relationship is affectedContinue reading “Diet and exercise for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson”
Aging is a curable disease
Cambridge researcher Aubrey de Grey argues that aging is merely a disease — and a curable one at that. Humans age in seven basic ways, he says, all of which can be averted. Aubrey de Grey, British researcher on aging, claims he has drawn a roadmap to defeat biological aging. He provocatively proposes that theContinue reading “Aging is a curable disease”
