Noninvasive sound technology developed at the University of Michigan breaks down liver tumors in rats, kills cancer cells and spurs the immune system to prevent further spread -- an advance that could lead to improved cancer outcomes in humans.

Scientists led by Dr. Manuel Serrano have observed symptoms of rejuvenation in the pancreas, liver, spleen, and blood of mice after applying one cycle of cell reprogramming 

To achieve this, the researchers have characterized rejuvenation by studying molecular marks in the DNA, gene expression, and cell metabolism. The study has been published in the journal Aging Cell.

Studies have shown that exercise helps protect brain cells. A new study looking at the mechanisms involved in this relationship suggests that the role exercise plays in maintaining insulin and body mass index levels may help protect brain volume and thus help stave off dementia. The research is published on April 13, 2022, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

It would hardly be worth studying nutrition if the data suggested it was not a powerful path to preventing heart disease and other conditions. Fortunately, it is quite the opposite. Most cases of heart disease, particularly CAD, are preventable and nutrition is a huge part of that. It is so sad that people are dying or are maimed by weak hearts that never needed to suffer if they only had learned and practiced heart-smart nutrition backed by science.
