Atherosclerosis is a condition of localized excesses of cholesterol in blood vessel walls, leading to fatty plaques that narrow and weaken those vessels, ultimately leading to stroke or heart attack. A lot of attention is given to the way in which excess cholesterol induces dysfunction in the macrophage cells responsible for clearing that cholesterol from blood vessel walls, thereby creating a feedback loop in which atherosclerotic plaques grow. Researchers here instead look at the effects of excess cholesterol on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_m…

Very little work takes place on combinations of interventions known to target mechanisms of aging. This is largely, I suspect, for reasons relating to intellectual property and control of later development. The work that does take place usually looks at approaches known or likely to have minimal effects in long-lived species such as our own, even while producing sizable gains in short-lived species, and this open access paper follows that trend.
It is unfortunate that short-lived species exhibit a pace of aging that is so much more reactive to the environment than that of long-lived species, as it has biased a great deal of research into directions, such as analysis of the beneficial response to calorie restriction, that cannot possibly greatly extend human li…

So your basil died in a freeze and you accidentally overwatered your tomatoes. We get it. Not everyone has a green thumb. (Gardening can be super tricky even if you do!)
That said, there’s one crop that’s surprisingly easy to grow — and it just so happens to be a perennial favorite (literally): potatoes.
With a few simple tips, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying home-grown spuds for mashing, smashing, and roasting. Read on to learn more about how to grow potatoes in your garden — or even on your balcony or patio.

Both the innate and adaptive immune systems decline in function and run awry with age. Taken as a whole, researchers view this as the combination of inflammaging and immunosenescence. Without delving into the details, inflammaging is chronic, unresolved inflammatory signaling, an overactivation of the immune system that produces harmful changes in cell behavior throughout the body, while immunosenescence is a decline in the effectiveness of the immune response, leaving an individual more vulnerable to pathogens</…

Voice assistants made device hardware actually seem smart. By 2018, more technology (and associated improvements) could be found in the Cloud. Besides these invisible upgrades, the voice assistant technology has been continually improving – and if the user could be made aware of those improvements (a BIG IF), they might find them to be very useful. Consider voice-enabled smart plugs, thermostats, audio books, traffic directions, weather, and news updates – and answers to questions that might matter about health, social connection, and personal safety.

Narcissistic patterns in relationships can stem from a number of issues that may not have anything to do with you. But recognizing them and counteracting them with healthier habits that promote self-worth is key.
If a narcissist is primarily concerned with their own needs and well-being, can they make room in their heart to love you too?
It can be really frustrating, but some people often find themselves involved in one narcissistic relationship after another, unable to break from the cycle of being adored and discarded.
If you feel like your love interest keeps flooding you with adoration only to then wring you dry, it’s time to alter the pattern.
