In this study, a significant (30%) increase in maximum lifespan of mice was found after nonablative transplantation of 100 million nucleated bone marrow (BM) cells from young donors, initiated at the age that is equivalent to 75 years for humans. Moreover, rejuvenation was accompanied by a high degree of BM chimerism for the nonablative approach. Six months after the transplantation, 28% of recipients' BM cells were of donor origin. The relatively high chimerism efficiency that we found is most likely due to the advanced age of our recipients having a depleted BM pool.
In addition to the higher incorporation rates, ...

Index: Evolution's Clinical Guidebook
In the past few blogs, I ' ve been discussing the recent publication of my book,Evolution ’s Clinical Guidebook: Translating Ancient Genes Into Precision Medicine. The premise of this book is that modern medicine is based on an understanding of evolutionary processes. Evolution shows us the relationships between the subdisciplines of medicine that benefit directly from Precision Medicine (i.e., pathology, microbiology, clinical genetics, pharmacology, and bioinformatics). In Evolution ' s Clinical Guidebook, all of these diverse fields are brought together, under the subject of evolution. To illustrate, I have listed bel...

Are you a cow?
The grazing ruminants of the earth are able to obtain virtually all their nutrition from consuming grasses and forage. They harbor specific anatomic and physiologic adaptations developed over millions of years to do so.
Humans have no such adaptations but are advised by all “official” sources of dietary advice to make grains–the seeds of grasses–the cornerstone of the diet. It means that there are numerous indigestible or only partially digestible proteins in wheat and grains that explain why autoimmune diseases, gastrointestinal disruption, and other health conditions are so commonly caused by whe...

April Is Stress Awareness Month
April is Stress Awareness Month. When I first read that in a local newspaper, my response was “Really? As if we’re not all very well-aware that we are stressed — sometimes to the max. Do we really need a month to focus on it? Then I read what it’s actually about: April as Stress Awareness Month was initiated by the Health Resource Network in 1992 to encourage health organizations to develop and distribute educational materials and hold public events about stress.
Okay. That makes sense. But as I looked at internet articles on stress, most of them stress (pun) things one can do about stress. Look and you’ll fi...
