Buckyballs Breakthrough Study: In April a study was published by the University of Paris. Initially the study was going to test the toxicity of a material called fullerene (also known as Buckyballs) that was dissolved in Olive Oil, however something completely unexpected happened… the rats taking the material did not die of toxicity. The control [...]

When cells become old and are unable to divide they are termed cellular senescent. The regions at the ends of DNA called the telomeres largely regulate the cellular senescent state of cells. When a cell divides telomere shorten and this shortening is detected by proteins that prevent the cells from dividing, rendering them mostly useless. [...]

In the 1990’s, it was discovered that resveratrol was able to favorably modulate cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Since then an explosion of studies has been done on resveratrol’s ability to not only modulate these diseases but also diabetes, neurodegeneration, systemic inflammation and to exert an anti-aging effect. Of interest this month are several papers that [...]

The health benefits of resveratrol have been on the news for over 20 years and continue to be actively investigated by researchers. This trend will continue based on the observations that resveratrol has broad functional health benefits on age-related diseases and pathologies like diabetes, cancer chemo-preventive properties such as in leukemia and also offer cardiovascular [...]

Since the discovery of DNA as the genetic material of all living organisms, fundamental dogma in biology states that the pecking order of control of cellular molecules puts DNA in front. DNA passes the information next to RNA, and RNA finally passes the genetic information to proteins. With this in mind, scientists have been studying [...]

RevGenetics

In the early 1990’s it was discovered that the reason human cells become “old” and are unable to continue growing like they do when they are “young” was due to shortening of the ends of the DNA regions called the telomeres. As it was first discovered in other organisms and then in humans, the telomeres [...]

Resveratrol is a natural compound that works as a chemopreventive compound as many pre-clinical trials have demonstrated. Ongoing studies have given vast amounts of information to the pharmacokinetics of this compound. Most of those studies have been done in cells or tissues where dose ranged from 10-5 to 10-4 M concentrations. In itself, these concentrations [...]

Obesity is a major problem in Western cultures since it increases the likelihood for diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and osteoarthritis. A straightforward solution may be to eat less, in what is referred in the scientific community as caloric restrictions. It is well documented in various animal and cell models, that a 30-50% [...]

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive tumors with a very low median survival rate of 14.8 months. Sadly it is also the most common primary brain tumor. Although multiple studies have been done on this cancer few have yielded good results in large part due to the brain barrier’s ability to select [...]

Cerebrovascular endothelial cells (CEC) are the main tissue that makes up the blood-brain barrier by creating tight junctions between themselves and not allowing for dissolved components in the blood from affecting the brain. However, this system is not perfect. Studies have shown that oxidized LDL (commonly referred as the “bad cholesterol”) can damage the CEC to the point of causing cell death, which would then leave the barrier vulnerable to all types of compounds.
