Aspirin and NSAIDs Reduce Risk of Squamous Cell Carcinoma by 15%
“This meta-analysis was based on a comprehensive literature review and included examination of heterogeneity on the basis of various study characteristics as well as an evaluation of study quality.”
Can Citric Acid Be Used as a Preservative for Skin Care and Cosmetics?
Citric acid can help extend the life of a personal care product by adjusting the pH and by chelating metal ions.
It can’t, however, protect products from microbes.
Scientists Grow Hair Using Stem Cells
For the first time, a team of U.S. scientists has developed a technique to convert human stem cells into a type of cell that is capable of initiating hair growth. When these cells were transplanted into mice lacking hair, they successfully induced human hair growth, suggesting that with further development, this method could lead to a cell-based treatment for people suffering hair loss.
Is There a Difference between Moisturizers with SPF and Sunscreens?
There isn’t! As long as you’re applying the proper amount, 2 mg/cm², you’ll get the SPF on the label.
“Our lab is focused on three areas. First, we are looking at how immune-related changes in old blood contribute to impairments in neural stem cell function and associated cognitive functions.
Second, we are looking at the contribution of the innate immune system to age-related impairments in synaptic plasticity and cognitive function.
Third, we are looking at how exposure to young blood rejuvenates neural stem cell function, synaptic plasticity and cognitive function in the old brain.
Ultimately, our goal is to elucidate cellular and molecular mechanisms that promote brain rejuvenation as a means by which to combat age-related neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction.”
Read This Before You Ever Believe Another Guest on the Dr. Oz Show
One of the most ridiculous things I heard on Dr. Oz was his promotion of “Grounding” or “Earthing”.
