We already know that excessive amounts of stress long term can cause certain individuals with certain predisposition cancer genetic mutations can cause cancer such as breast cancer. So, not surprise to see this.


In some situations, people who got hurt, replay the disturbing moment in their heads for many times and for many days. Every repetition you make usually causes more intense feelings making the situation worse.

This is just wrong; its a disgrace to all things Quantum.


NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Beard Basics offers a full line of men’s beard grooming products as well as a year-round line of their version of beard baubles beard bauble ornaments for Christmas and special occasions. In addition, they offer an everyday line of beard and hair ornaments, glitter beard kits and for 2016, the next generation of beard ornaments, Quantum Beard Lights Beard Fairy Lights.

Beard Basics, a full line of men’s beard grooming products and special occasion items, has been creating and selling men’s beard grooming and their version of beard Baubles with beard bauble ornaments for more than a decade. The company offers a full range of products including holiday, sports-themed and year round beard and hair ornaments. In 2014, the company launched holiday beard ornamentation as part of the beard season awareness for men’s health. Beard Basic’s brand of holiday Beard Bauble Ornaments and glitter beard kits have been copied by many other companies but they are the trend setters when it comes to beards and the first to offer beard ornaments with mini clips.

Aging May Be Reversible: Researchers Rejuvenate Older Mice

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, life extension

Getting old may not be inevitable — scientists have found a way to turn back the clock on human and animal cells, making them look and behave like younger versions of themselves.

The researchers also used the method to treat mice with a rare disease that causes them to age prematurely and die early, and found that the method increased the animals’ lifespan by 30 percent. And, when normal mice received the treatment, they appeared to be rejuvenated, with some of their cells healing faster than normal in response to injury.

The researchers said that their findings may help scientists better understand the process of aging. One day, it may be possible to use a similar approach to ward off age-related diseases in humans, and thus improve people’s health and increase their lifespan, they said.

Ageing process may be reversible, scientists claim

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, health, life extension

The team showed that a new form of gene therapy produced a remarkable rejuvenating effect in mice. After six weeks of treatment, the animals looked younger, had straighter spines and better cardiovascular health, healed quicker when injured, and lived 30% longer.

Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, who led the work at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, said: “Our study shows that ageing may not have to proceed in one single direction. With careful modulation, ageing might be reversed.”

First approved targeted therapy for Gastric Cancer in Singapore offers new way and hope of treating disease

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

Lilly announced today that CYRAMZA® (ramucirumab) has been approved by the Singapore Health Sciences Authority to treat people with advanced gastric cancer, whose cancer has progressed after prior chemotherapy. First country in ASEAN to approve the new biologic therapy that extends survival in patients with advanced stomach cancer after prior chemotherapy

CYRAMZA® (ramucirumab) is now available to Singaporeans living with advanced gastric cancer. The drug gained approval by Singapore’s Health Science’s Authority (HSA) earlier this year, marking the first regulatory approval in ASEAN. CYRAMZA is already available to patients in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Proposing Cross-Linking in the Extracellular Matrix to Contribute to Immunosenescence

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, life extension

Removing Glucosepane crosslinks from tissue is one of the most important things groups like SENS Research Foundation are doing and their progress relies on our support.


In this interesting open access paper, the authors propose that too little attention has been given to immune cell behavior in tissues rather than in blood, and that means that researchers have overlooked the possibility that age-related changes in the extracellular matrix structures that support tissues might be a significant cause of the growing immune dysfunction that takes place in later life. One of the more important of these changes in the extracellular matrix is the growing presence of cross-links, persistent sugary compounds produced as a byproduct of normal metabolic operations that chain together the large molecules of the extracellular matrix. In doing so these cross-links change the chemical and structural properties of the matrix and the tissue as a whole, producing results such as loss of elasticity in skin and blood vessels, which in turn contribute to a variety of age-related diseases. If cross-linking does indeed contribute to immunosenescence, the decline of the immune system with age, then that only increases the importance of ongoing research funded by the SENS Research Foundation aimed at safely breaking down this unwanted form of metabolic waste. In humans near all persistent cross-links appear to involve a single class of compound, glucosepane. So in theory there is only a single target here, needing just one drug development program to make a large difference to long-term health and longevity.
