Repairing the damage of time will 'cure' you from old age

Day after day this ambitious goal is starting to become reality thanks to the progress of biomedical research. For several years, researchers have believed that the cells most damaged by aging, called "senescent", damage the surrounding tissue causing many of the pathologies characteristic of old age. These cells, which have stopped dividing due to the ravages of time, continue to secrete large quantities of molecules, many of which are toxic, in the surrounding environment. In a study recently published in the prestigious journal Nature, scientists from "Mayo ... Read more

S100A10, has Cancer found its killer?

s100a10

As we all know, there is a phase in the development of this pathology that makes its course deadly: when tumor cells multiply and spread to other organs, creating metastases, it is almost impossible to face and win the battle for the survival of a patient. Waisman's recent studies have identified in this process the direct responsibilities of a protein, S100A10, present on the surface of macrophages, the cells responsible for the body's immune defense. The action of… Read more

LipoControl: a laser will sculpt our body

lipocontrol 2

Freshly approved by US health authorities, a new laser application could become the next winning weapon in removing unwanted fat. Osyris Medical, an American company specializing in medical instruments, has produced LipoControl, a device for laser-assisted lipolysis, the elimination of unwanted fat cells: it is an auxiliary tool that does not avoid the use of the operating room, but allows (unlike the cannula used in liposuction) to 'break down' targeted groups of fat cells, facilitating the operation and cleaning of the ...
