In conclusion, patients over 90 years of age had an overall low prevalence of fractures and relative preservation of bone health, suggesting a preserved bone molecular profile in these individuals. Epigenetic factors and activity levels might also have favorably affected bone health. The low percentage of osteoporosis and fractures likely reduced the morbidity and mortality in this population, potentially contributing to their overall longevity.

Most Small Molecules that Influence Life Span in Model Organisms Also Influence Expression of Extracellular Matrix Genes
An interesting observation is discussed in this open access paper, which is that most small molecule compounds that extend life in short lived species also change the expression of extracellular matrix genes. The majority of such compounds are thought to extend life by provoking some of the same stress response mechanisms as calorie restriction, heat shock, and other common stressors, resulting in improved cell maintenance and thus improved cell and tissue function. Why do they also lead to changes in cellular activity relating to the maintenance of the extracellular matrix? A detailed answer to that question may emerge at...

Smart Contact Lenses Measure Glucose, Deliver Drugs
Researchers at the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) report development of smart contact lenses for simultaneous glucose measurement and controlled drug delivery. The research, led by Professor Sei Kwang Han, found the contact lenses resulted in low irritation in rabbits, were able to reliably detect glucose levels in tears, and could controllably release genistein, a compound that may help treat diabetic retinopathy.
Patients with diabetes experience fluctuations in blood glucose levels throughout the day. Sudden drops can leave patients at risk of losing consciousness, among other issues, while sp...

A Really Good Reason For Not Eating Tofu
I have been aided in avoiding tofu by the confusion over whether eating soy contributes to breast cancer growth. I really hate tofu. My mother fed it to us as children and I didn ' t like it then and I don ' t like it now. I might eat a little bit in my hot and sour soup but I will never order a dish which is tofu based.But now (finally) we have clarification on the soy or no soy for women with breast cancer:The issue is eating soy products seems to give women protection from breast cancer. Asian countries where soy products are eaten regularly have much lower rates of breast cancer than the US. But the estrogen-similar st...

Pura d’or Hair Loss Prevention Premium Organic Shampoo: Look at the label
Believe it or not this hair loss prevention shampoo is a top beauty seller on Amazon.com. Let’s look at the label to see if it has a chance in hell of actually preventing hair loss.
The good news is the shampoo uses one of the mildest cleansing ingredients you can buy – sodium cocoyl isethionate. The bad news is it costs $22 for 16 ounces which is expensive. There are other shampoos based on the same ingredient which you can get for much cheaper.
More good news: if you read the claims carefully you’ll see that it really is just a shampoo and not a drug product. More bad news: they throw in all sorts o...
