Reviewing the Literature on Prevention of Cellular Senescence in Stem Cells
In today's open access paper, the authors report on a literature search for efforts to reduce cellular senescence in stem cell populations. The majority of the work they list, involving the assessment of pharmacological agents that can influence the onset of cellular senescence, has taken place in cell cultures, an environment that has very little relevance to what happens in stem cell niches in a living organism. Stem cells in a petri dish undergo very different rates of replication, have different stresses and signals, are not subject to interactions with supporting cells of the niche, and so forth.
Thus I'd be in...

Causality in Medicine: Moving Beyond Correlation in Clinical Practice
A growing body of research suggests it ’s time to abandon outdated ideas about how to identify effective medical therapies.Paul Cerrato, senior research analyst and communications specialist, Mayo Clinic Platform, and John Halamka, M.D., president, Mayo Clinic Platform, wrote this article.“Correlation is not causation.” It’s a truism that researchers take for granted, and for good reason. The fact that event A is followed by event B doesn’t mean that A caused B. An observational study of 1,000 adults, for example, that found those taking high doses of vitamin C were less like ly to develop lung cancer doesn’t p...

Do vitamin D, zinc, and other supplements help prevent COVID-19 or hasten healing?
In this study, people whose symptoms did not require hospital admission were randomly assigned to receive
only vitamin C, 8,000 mg/day (the recommended daily amount is 75 mg/day for women and 90 mg/day for men)
only zinc, 50 mg/day (the recommended daily amount is 8 mg/day for women, 11 mg/day for men)
both supplements at the doses above
neither supplement.
The researchers found that people receiving the supplements, whether individually or combined, had no improvement in symptoms or a faster recovery when compared with otherwise similar patients receiving neither supplement.

8 Foods I ’ve Added to My Diet to Enhance My Health

As a result, I’ve eliminated many products from my meals over the years, but what I gave up, I made up for in healthier additions. Here are eight foods I’ve added to my diet to enhance my health and why.
1. Beets
Your thoughts might not turn to this root vegetable until it’s time to make red beet eggs for your next picnic. However, including more of them in your weekly diet could help your...

Overkill: When Modern Medicine Goes Too Far by Paul Offit M.D.I am admittedly a huge fanboy of Paul Offit, an infectious disease guru at Children ' s Hospital of Philadelphia, one of the preeminent pediatric hospitals in the world. His latest bookOverall: When Modern Medicine Goes Too Far, is a collection of medical facts that are already known to the well-read individual, but fly in the face of wrongly-held, out-dated, commonly-believed medical concepts. The majority of the incorrect information was previously considered the standard of care, but newer and better science and studies have clearly demonstrate...

The Aging Gut Microbiome Produces More Trimethylamine, Harming Arterial Function
In recent years academic interest has grown in the study of the gut microbiome. Researchers are making inroads into understanding the considerable influence of these microbial populations over the progression of health and aging. The gut microbiome may be as influential as physical activity in these matters. The balance of microbial populations shifts unfavorably over time, for reasons that are yet to be fully mapped and understood. This leads to greater numbers of inflammatory microbes, or those that produce harmful byproducts, and fewer microbes that produce beneficial metabolites. Researchers have identified some of the...
