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.
102-yo Harlem Renaissance dancer sees herself dancing for the first time
In case you find it hard to see what the ravages of stem cell deterioration do to a person over 10 decades, watch as this wonderful woman, Alice, enjoys watching herself for the first time on film
Murine hepatitis model validates my Stem Cell Theory of Aging and Disease
Google alerts for “telomeres” posted this interesting study validating my idea that replicative senescence is at the heart of liver disease. They engineered mice to have poor telomere repair and then watched as the large cell liver histology typical in hepatitis and cirrhosis developed.
Hopkins’ study validates “my” Stem Cell Theory of Aging
Truly, the best argument against my Stem Cell Theory of Aging (since every Axiom in it is completely standard scientific orthodoxy) is that “it couldn’t be that simple because the best efforts of scientists have been looking elsewhere.”
Welcome to The “New” World, Johns Hopkins
So I guess I’ll just have to sit here like Leif Ericson in New England until other Columbi (plural of Columbus?) decide to plant their flag on this wonderful new world of common sense and scientifically-backed conclusions.
