The process of aging comes with a lot of changes in the body and mind. However, there are a lot of misconceptions about what is normal as we age, versus what is indicative of a problem. In this post, we’ll debunk three of the most common myths about aging and how it affects us. Myth [Read More]
Researchers have found that a low-calorie diet has effects on the stem cell circadian rhythm that could slow down the aging process. Experiments in mice have revealed that, with age, the biological clock in stem cells begins to focus on alternate cell processes. Instead of focusing on maintaining tissues, it begins to focus on DNA [Read More]
The large number of stem cells in fat has led to a new wave of treatments in plastic surgery that hopes to harness the potential of this ‘wonder’ cell. Since a stem cell can turn into any type of cell if properly stimulated, it is not hard to see why any treatment attached to it [Read More]
When you think of a hormone imbalance, you probably think of hot flashes and other symptoms that are common among women as they approach menopause. However, many people don’t realize that hormone imbalances are not limited to middle-aged women and that they can happen at nearly any age and affect both men and women. Since [Read More]
Vaginal rejuvenation has gone from a taboo topic to mainstream media. Women have spent years having Mommy Makeovers after having babies to rejuvenate their bodies, but the vagina was being ignored. Enter vaginal rejuvenation. We now have devices designed to tighten the vaginal canal and shrink and tighten the labia and vaginal tissue. Some examples [Read More]
Just like all cells, tissues, and organs in the body, stem cells also age as a person grows older. Now scientists have developed a technique to rejuvenate aging stem cells and allow them to function like their younger, more robust versions. This method of transforming old stem cells into new has applications in the treatment [Read More]
Gene manipulation and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are at the cutting edge of regenerative medicine. Research is underway in using these cellular and genome-editing techniques to treat innumerable diseases afflicting human beings, but their use in repairing the damages of aging have ethical and cultural implications. However, there is a growing change in attitude [Read More]
