New gene identified in development of fat cells
Posted on 2009-08-29 16:10:00 in Diabetes | Genetic Research | Longevity and Age Management | Weight and Obesity |
Research from the University of Central Florida indentifies a gene that controls the development of fat cells. Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 Induced Protein (MCPIP) gives scientists a new direction for developing drugs that would prevent the body from becoming resistant to insulin and prone to type 2 diabetes.

Cancer survival rates down in those seperated
Posted on 2009-08-27 18:35:10 in Cancer | Immune System | Longevity and Age Management | Stress |
Research from the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis analyzed data to look for trends in cancer survival among patients who are separated, divorced, widowed, and never married. The study, which gleaned data from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database, concludes that cancer patients who are separated at the time of diagnosis do not live as long as others.

A worldwide project called NeuroNano seeks to explore the role of human-engineered nanoparticles found in sunscreen and in an additive in some diesel fuels, investigating their connection to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Continue reading…
Human appendix proves useful
Posted on 2009-08-27 00:09:06 in Immune System | Infectious Disease | Longevity and Age Management |
Long thought to be a useless remnant of a larger structure in the human anatomy, the appendix is more likely a helpful aid to gastrointestinal well-being. By storing beneficial bacteria, the appendix can can repopulate a gut depleted of good bacteria by disease. Continue reading…
Depression and immunity in breast cancer patients
Posted on 2009-08-26 23:41:33 in Cancer | Depression | Immune System | Longevity and Age Management | Women's Health |
Research from Stanford University School of Medicine explores the role of depression on the immune systems of patients with metastatic breast cancer. The effects of stress and depression may compromise the body's ability to fight off infection and the ability to deal with the progression of the disease. Continue reading…
Testosterone causes belly fat during menopause
Posted on 2009-08-26 10:33:40 in Aging | Cardio-Vascular | Estrogen | Longevity and Age Management | Metabolic Syndrome | Testosterone | Weight and Obesity | Women's Health |
Visceral fat, usually known as belly fat, is the fat surrounding internal organs around the waistline. Commonly thought to be a function of age, research from the Rush University Medical Center shows that it is in fact a change in hormone balance that causes an increase in visceral fat during menopause. Continue reading…
