Anti Aging Therapy breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation with stem cells, molecular, repair, gene therapy will enable human to have indefinite lifespans through rejuvenation.
AUTISM IS A SPECTRUM OF DISORDERS WITH MANY CAUSES
Unraveling the causes of Autism using genetic, environmental and viral analysis. Mutations of various gene are implicated in different indiviuuals with the disease.
HEART DISEASE IS A CLASS OF DISEASES THAT INVOLVE BLOOD VESSELS AND ARTERIES
Heart disease is an umbrella term for a variety of diseases affecting the heart. It is the leading cause of death in the United States, Canada, accounting for 25.4% of the total deaths .
WARNING SIGNS DIABETES: THIRST, HUNGER, WEIGHT LOSS
Warning signs diabetes: There are about 16 signs ranging from increased thirst and hunger to frequent urination and weight loss. If you have two or more see your doctor.
DIABETES MELLITUS - PANCREAS DOES NOT MAKE ENOUGH INSULIN TO METABOLIZE SUGAR.
Diabetes Mellitus strikes when insulin is insufficient for conversion of glucose for internal storage in liver and muscle cells. There are two primary types: 1 and 2.
Don’t drop those French fries yet! Abraham Kovoor of the University Of Rhode Island College Of Pharmacy discovered a gene that regulates body weight.
Through pure serendipity, he noticed that a protein called RSS9-2 that is related to repetitive movements that are side effects of drugs used to treat Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia also lowered body weight.
Humans with a gene variation that reduced RGS9-2 levels had a significantly higher body mass index (BMI).
Higher levels of the protein were associated with lower body weight A grossly overweight person has a (BMI), a comparison of weight and height, of over 30 kilograms/meters squared. People with a BMI greater than 40 are morbidly overweight. The condition increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and cancer.
High levels of the RGS9-2 caused weight loss. The protein is expressed in the brains striatum which is involved in motor control and reward responses and triggers an increased reward response during eating and overeating.
Drop the French fries anyway, they’ll clog your arteries.
HISTORY OF ADHD: A CONFUSING WORK IN PROGRESS GOING BACK A FEW CENTURIES
History of ADHD goes back at least two centuries when the medical community began to study the characteristics of the disorder. Hyperactivity has long been a part of the human condition.
3-D technology is not only the province of movies like Avatar, It’s being developed to print human body parts and organs.
A CT scan is taken of the your organ and used to prints layers of a replacement organ made up of cells and held together by biomaterials.
Regenerative medicine and human body replacement parts have been the lore of science fiction for generations. You’ve got to have the indelible image of Frankenstein lurking in your brain like a bad Bee Gee tune. Frankenstein was written about 300 years ago, but Modern regenerative medicine is very new.
The Institute of Regenerative medicine at work Forest School of Medicine in North Carolina is working on cell therapies and replacement tissues and organ for 30 difference areas of the body including heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas.
Clinical trials are under way to improve heart function with stem cells and growing organs in the lab like skin, cartilage, bladders, urine tubes, blood vessels and trachea.
You will age, we all do. If you're among the majority of the masses you certainly spend a portion of your income on anti-aging remedies. Billions of dollars are spent on such products by Americans. Can aging be slowed?
In 1964 researchers found a drug called rapamycin, which was discovered in a soil sample collected on Easter Island. The drug increased the maximum life span of mammals 10 to 14 percent by interfering with a protein called mTor. Inhibition of mTor mimics calorie restriction long known to slow aging.
mTor, an enzyme encoded by the FRAP1 gene, regulates cell growth, cell proliferation, cell motility, cell survival, protein synthesis, and transcription. Slowing the enzyme’s activity can lower the risk of major age-related diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, macular degeneration, type 2 diabetes, heart muscle degeneration and osteoporosis.
In 1980 researchers learned that rapamycin inhibited tumor growth.
In 1999 the Food and Drug Administration approved rapamycin to prevent rejection of transplanted organs.
In 2007 two derivatives of rapamycin have been approved to treat various kinds of cancer. The enzyme has the ability to suppress the actions of a growth regulating gene conserved across billions of years of evolution.
CCR5 DELTA 32 MUTATION DEVELOPED INTO TREATMENT THAT CURES OR PREVENTS HIV AIDS
CCR5 Delta mutation developed into gene therapy to Hiv Aids. People with one copy of CCR5 gene are resistant to HIV. Patients with the induced treatment ecame HIV AID resistant.
HIV AIDS is a retrovirus that enters body through a protein receptor. The CCR5 gene encodes the receptor. Manipulation of the gene has lead to HIV resistance in individuals.
COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES CAN DEVELOP BLINDNESS, LIVER, HEART, KIDNEY AND DISEA
Complications of diabetes can lead to diseases of the liver, kidney, cause blindness, heart disease and sexual dysfunction. These conditions can be moderated with tight. glucose control.
DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMERS: DEMENTIA TAKES DIFFERENT FORMS, ALZHEIMERS IS ONE.
Dementia and Alzheimers form a spectrum of diseases that vary in severity from Alzheimers, the most common, to mixed dementia to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the rarest.
