Real patient experiences

Aging genes and Oncogenes – what are they telling us?

So in a sense, good health is like keeping a bathtub full of clean water. The supply of water is nearly endless if we can keep the mesenchymal stem cell library frozen in our cartilage from aging when recruited. And if we can drain out the foul water (mutated stem cells), then we are going to be just fine.

Harvard/Northwestern VA study claims to predict cancer risk with telomere lengths

Men who developed cancers were compared with those that didn’t for the 13 years prior to diagnosis or exclusion by using a quantitative PCR measurement (which is problematic). Firstly, they found was two different curves with the cancer group showing a more rapid shortening trend. This is consistent with my stem cell theory of aging and most of the extant studies.

Dave Goldberg, Harvard Class of ’89, passed away today

So we say farewell to “The good guy of Silicon Valley”. Maybe part of his good guy legacy was to empower Sheryl to move our culture forward with his love and support. As the voice of women seeking to “have it all” on their own terms by “leaning in”, she must have felt tremendous love and support throughout her mission

A driver who has lost integration with his or her own environment and is merely preoccupied with what they see and whether it is enough to get them to their next stop may encounter problems that they never saw coming.

Dogs use oxytocin to bond with humans

It would seem that it’s a “dog-eat-dog” work amongst dogs but when they are looking to be adopted and cared for by humans, they have co-opted the infant-parent cuteness that keeps us from abandoning our own young.

Same data, two opposite conclusions? – unless…

When data from the Copehnhagen City Heart Study was published in 2013, they concluded that shorter telomeres in leukocytes was not associated with increased cancer after adjusting for age but that it WAS associated with reduced survival from cancer http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/content/105/7/459.long

In 2015, the same data looked at certain gene tendencies that promote telomere shortening and concluded that cancer survival was IMPROVED when shortening was enhanced in the telomeres.

Contradiction? Not so fast.
