Higher Blood Levels of Flame-Retardant Toxins in Children
Children living in homes with all vinyl flooring or flame-retardant chemicals in the sofa have significantly higher concentrations of potentially harmful semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in their blood or urine than children from homes where these materials are not present.
Cell Study Sheds Light on Damage Caused by Aging
Some of the damaging cell effects linked to aging could be prevented by manipulating tiny parts of cells, a study shows. Scientists have shed light on how the harm caused by senescence – a vital cell process that plays a key role in diseases of aging – could be controlled or even stopped.
Gut Bacteria May Have a Direct Association With Dementia
Researchers studying the population of bacteria and microbes in the intestines, known as gut microbiota, have found these "bugs" impact risks for diseases of the heart and more.
Scientists Discover Cellular Process That Stops Cancer Before it Starts
Scientists studying the relationship of telomeres to cancer made a surprising discovery: a cellular recycling process called autophagy – generally thought of as a survival mechanism – actually promotes the death of cells, thereby preventing cancer initiation.
Aspirin and Ibuprofen Improve Survival in Head and Neck Cancer
Regular use of common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen significantly improves survival for a third or more patients with head and neck cancer, improving overall five-year survival rate from 25 percent to 78 percent.
Stroke Drug May Prevent Alzheimer's Disease
A drug currently being developed to treat stroke patients could also prevent Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report that the compound protects the brains of mice with Alzheimer's-like symptoms, reducing the buildup of toxic peptides and preventing memory loss.
Fasting Protects Against Aging-Associated Diseases
Researchers found evidence that fasting affects circadian clocks in the liver and skeletal muscle, causing them to rewire their metabolism, which can ultimately lead to improved health and protection against aging-associated diseases.
Protein Alteration Controls Cell's Response to Stress, Immunity and Lifespan
Scientists have revealed new insight into a stress-response mechanism, unfolded protein response (UPR), tnat will help researchers understand the processes that protect cells, boost immunity and extend lifespan.
Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs Reduce Brown Adipose Tissue
Researchers report that statins, one of the most commonly prescribed classes of pharmaceuticals, reduce beneficial brown adipose tissue. Statins also increase risk of developing diabetes, suggesting a possible link between the two effects.
‘Nanoscavengers’ Could Protect People From Sarin Gas, Other Nerve Agents
In the 1980s, thousands of Iranians were killed from exposure to the nerve agents sarin and tobin unleased by Iraqi forces. Similar chemicals have been used against soldiers and civilians in recent wars and terrorist attacks. Now, researchers are reporting a new therapy that may be able to provide long-acting protection against these agents.
