Key Points: According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in 44 men will die of prostate cancer. Reports also show that prostate cancer is the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. It follows that preventing or delaying prostate cancer could lead to a longer life. To live a healthier, longer life New Zealand physician… Continue reading Can Taking a Hair Growth Drug Delay Death from Cancer?

Rhonda Patrick Reveals How Intense Workouts Can Revolutionize Your Lifespan
Key Points: Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a celebrity biochemist and aging expert, says that if we could reap the benefits of exercise in the form of a pill, it would be the best longevity supplement available. In a presentation she gave at the Longevity Fest 2023, Dr. Patrick says that we can harness a vigorous exercise… Continue reading Rhonda Patrick Reveals How Intense Workouts Can Revolutionize Your Lifespan
Intermittent Fasting Potently Suppresses Tumor Growth to Prolong Survival: New Study Findings
Key Points: Intermittent fasting encompasses not eating for a period of time, such as going at least 16 hours per day without eating, regardless of the calorie numbers consumed during the remaining eight hour period. Intriguingly, in various cancer models, this form of dietary intervention has been shown to inhibit tumor growth. However, no studies… Continue reading Intermittent Fasting Potently Suppresses Tumor Growth to Prolong Survival: New Study Findings
NAD⁺ Boosting Molecule Protects the Heart Against Chemotherapy and Suppresses Cancer: Korean Study
Key Points Doxorubicin is a chemotherapeutic used to treat a number of cancers like breast, thyroid, and stomach cancer by inducing cell stress from buildup of unstable molecules called reactive oxygen species. The heart has less antioxidant activity to counter cellular reactive oxygen species accumulation compared to other tissues, making it more prone to doxorubicin-induced… Continue reading NAD⁺ Boosting Molecule Protects the Heart Against Chemotherapy and Suppresses Cancer: Korean Study
Vitamin D Stops Cancer Growth by Activating NAD⁺ and Sirtuin-1: Research from Spain
Key Points: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, expected to increase by 60% around 2030. While previous studies have suggested vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for colon cancer, researchers from the University of Rey Juan Carlos in Spain shed light on how this is possible. In the journal… Continue reading Vitamin D Stops Cancer Growth by Activating NAD⁺ and Sirtuin-1: Research from Spain
City of Hope Study Shows New Drug Kills Multiple Solid Tumors
Key Points Cell stress from DNA damage, which cancer cells must overcome to continue their replication and proliferation, represents a hallmark of cancer. Exploiting this cancer-associated feature has previously been dubbed an undruggable target to stop cancer in its path. Published in Cell Chemical Biology, Malkas and colleagues from City of Hope in California reveal… Continue reading City of Hope Study Shows New Drug Kills Multiple Solid Tumors
Promising New Study: Probiotics Significantly Reduce Colon Cancer Risk
Key Points Aside from skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer type, accounting for an expected 52,550 deaths in the US in 2023. Researchers have attributed non-hereditary colorectal cancer onset to poor dietary choices and shoddy gut microbial composition, with increased abundance of detrimental gut bacterial species like Eschericia coli. Low-quality dietary… Continue reading Promising New Study: Probiotics Significantly Reduce Colon Cancer Risk
Restoring NAD⁺ via Niacin Curtails Muscle Loss from Cancer: Italian & Finnish Scientists
Key Points: Over half of all cancer patients endure the repercussions of cachexia, a devastating syndrome characterized by extreme weight loss and muscle deterioration. To date, no effective treatments for this syndrome exist. However, recent studies conducted by scientists in Italy and Finland suggest that augmenting NAD+ levels might present a solution. Published in Nature… Continue reading Restoring NAD⁺ via Niacin Curtails Muscle Loss from Cancer: Italian & Finnish Scientists
Researchers Rejuvenate Aged Mouse Blood Stem Cells
Key Points: Researchers from the University of Florida Health Cancer Center, Hackensack University Medical Center, and Weill Cornell Medicine identified a developmental molecule called Netrin-1 as a critical regulator of bone marrow cell aging. Co-lead authors Ramalingam, Gutkin, and Poulos demonstrate that supplementation of aged mice with Netrin-1 rejuvenates aged bone marrow and restores the… Continue reading Researchers Rejuvenate Aged Mouse Blood Stem Cells
Breakthrough New Drug Can Stop Multiple Cancer Types: Australian Study
Key Points There are at least 200 different types of cancer, and unique treatment regimens have been devised to target each one of them. As such, finding one treatment for multiple cancers would be an unprecedented healthcare feat. Published in Oncogene, Millward and colleagues from the University of Western Australia have designed and produced a… Continue reading Breakthrough New Drug Can Stop Multiple Cancer Types: Australian Study
