Every cell contains hundreds of mitochondria, the descendants of ancient symbiotic bacteria that are primarily responsible for generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a chemical energy store molecule used to power the cell. Mitochondrial function declines with age, negatively impacting health, and thus researchers are interested in finding ways to either enhance function to compensate for this decline or find ways to prevent and reverse the loss of mitochondrial activity. Most currently available approaches fail to much improve on the effects of exercise on this front, and appear to largely work by improving quality control mechanisms that have evolved to remove damaged mitochondria. Here, researchers report on a novel target t…

Researchers here outline a mechanism by which excess fat tissue may accelerate the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease, by affecting the content of extracellular vesicles passing into the brain, that in turn increase the aggregation of misfolded amyloid-β that is characteristic of the early stages of the condition. Excess visceral fat also contributes to chronic inflammation via a range of different mechanisms, and Alzheimer’s disease is clearly an inflammatory condition. As is usually the case, det…

Here, researchers link increased expression of IL-33 to increased cellular senescence and dysfunction in cartilage tissue in joints and the consequent progression of osteoarthritis. Using small interfering RNA to reduce IL-33 expression, the researchers demonstrate a slowing of the progression of this destructive condition in an animal model. Regeneration of damaged cartilage remains a preferred goal, but progress on that front is slow, and research and development tends to focus more on available approaches than on approaches that require an uncertain amount of work to…

“I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.” ~Rumi

There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that happens when you realize some of your prayers are going nowhere.

There’s a painful silence that follows unanswered calls. Yet, despite the ache, I can still feel the pull to pray to the God outside of myself—that old reflex to place faith in something bigger, some invisible force in the sky, who, apparently, can make things happen magically here on Earth.

But it doesn’t always go that way, does it?

I prayed my cancer would go away. It didn’t.

I prayed the world would heal from climate change. It didn’…

Here’s a common scenario that pops up all the time:

“I’m traveling for the next few days. What should I do for my workout?”

Great question!

Today, I want to share with you my go-to workout routine for when I travel.

I’ve used a variation of this workout for over a decade with clients who are traveling for work, a wedding, a long-overdue vacation, you name it.

Let’s break it down together so you know exactly what to do the next time you hit the road.

But first, I like to ask a really important question:

A number of lines of research indicate that coordination of gene expression within and between cells deteriorates with age. If any two genes are tightly correlated in the expression levels in youth, that correlation tends to decline in strength with age. On the one hand there is increased noise in the distribution of behaviors from cell to cell in response to the same environmental circumstances. Further, where systems of regulation interact with one another, those interactions drift out of synchronization, such as the loss of coordination between central and peripheral circadian clocks. We can hypothesize on how these changes might arise from a stochastic distribution across cell populations of the <a href="https://www.fightaging.org…
