We knew it would be shockingly cold, because we’ve jumped into it for the past 26 days. We really didn’t want to do it, but we’re committed to this.
And then I invited myself to a mindset shift: can I bring curiosity to this moment?
This moment I have already judged as bad, this experience I’ve already put into a fixed box of “hell no” … could I instead let go of my fixed ideas, and just bring curiosity?
What is this moment like, when I’ve dropped my judgments, fixed views, preconceived notions?

In this chaotic world, we worry, we avoid, we try so hard to “do it right.”
At the heart of it, all of that worry and anxiety is because we cannot trust.
We don’t trust others: we judge them and try to tell them how to live their lives, we get frustrated with them when they don’t do things the way we think they should.
We don’t trust ourselves: we avoid saying things because we don’t think we can handle it if they get upset, we try to get things just right because we don’t think we can handle failure or being judged.
We don’t trust the world, so we’re constantly anxious about it all.
There’s nothing wrong with that — we’re human. We’re wired to see threats everywhere.
But what would it be like to practice trust?

Cellular senescence is a double-edged sword in the matter of cancer. The state of senescence is a growth arrest coupled with pressure to self-destruct and a call to the immune system to destroy the senescent cell. As such it serves as a first line of defense against cancer. Most cancer treatments force large numbers of cancerous cells into senescence, in addition to causing outright cell death, shutting down their ability to replicate. Unfortunately, the presence of too many senescent cells is harmful in and of itself, as their signaling produces chronic inflammation, disrupts tissue function throughout the body, and makes the environment more hospitable for cancer growth.

Packing injured bone with synthetic bone material can speed regeneration, allowing even severe injuries involving missing bone or multiple fractures to resolve. Here researchers report on improvements to this class of approach, coercing the behavior of natural processes of bone growth and resorption to be more amenable to the regeneration that is desired.
Researchers have developed a way of combining a bone substitute and drugs to regenerate bone and heal severe fractures in the thigh or shin bone. The study was conducted on rats, but the researchers think that the method in various combinations will soon be commonplace in clinical settings. “The drugs and materials we used in the study for the regeneration of bone are already approved. We simply packaged them in a new combination. Therefore, there are no real obstacles to already using the method in clinical studies for certain major bone d…
