UPDATE: Help Could Be On The Way For Alzheimer's
Help finally could be on the way for victims of Alzheimer's disease. After decades of arduous work, drug makers and academic researchers believe they've made considerable progress in bringing a new generation of treatments to market that may ease symptoms of the devastating brain disease and might even stop its progression. ...

Researchers unravel key mechanism of cellular damage in aging and disease
Researchers have taken a first snapshot of how a class of highly reactive molecules inflicts cellular damage as part of aging, heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease and Alzheimer's disease to name a few. According to a study published today in the journal Cell, researchers have discovered a tool that can monitor related damage and determine the degree to which antioxidant drugs effectively combat disease. ...

Antihistamine drug proven effective in treating Alzheimer's
A drug previously approved as an antihistamine in Russia may serve as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease, new findings indicate. ... Continue Reading
Caloric Restriction Comes in a Pill
Scientists have provided the strongest evidence yet that the anti-aging benefits of calorically restricted diets can be duplicated -- minus the near-starvation -- by a pill. ... Continue Reading
Newly Identified Role For ‘Power Plants’ In Human Cells Could Lead to Targeted Therapies
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have determined that human cells are able to shift important gene products into their own mitochondria, considered the power plants of cells. The finding could eventually lead to therapies for dozens of diseases. ... Continue Reading
Gene activity can be altered by lifestyle
Physical inactivity and acquired obesity can alter gene activity by impairing expression of the genes which help cells produce energy, a study of identical twins has found. ... Continue Reading
Ionic Currents: The Spark of Life the Directional Force for Cellular Metabolism & Energetics
The aging process cannot be conceptualized by examining a single gene or a single pathway, but can best be addressed at the systems level. Aging is not only the sum total of shortened telomeres, denatured1 proteins and DNA molecules, or oxidative damage in the mitochondria. ... Continue Reading
Vitamin Studies: Rebuttal to Allegation That Certain Vitamins May Shorten Lifespan
It is almost inconceivable to think that for the greater part of the 20th century, a “scientific” debate raged as to whether cigarette smoking was dangerous. An even longer running controversy focused on whether food choices (i.e. diet) had any effect on how long people lived. It was not until the later part of the 20th century that the FDA admitted that high saturated fat diets increase heart attack risk. ... Continue Reading

ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate), the universal energy molecule, created in the mitochondria of your cells using energy derived from the food you eat. All the cellular activities in your body use the energy released by splitting ATP. ... Continue Reading
