(Natural News) Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens the bones, making them prone to fractures. Bone loss due to osteoporosis often happens without producing any symptoms; people who have fragile bones only find out that they have the disease when a fracture occurs or if they accidentally fall. Treatment for osteoporosis involves taking medications such as biphosphonate […]

(Natural News) Humans enjoy moderately long lifespans. But some bats live even longer, which is surprising given their small size. Researchers believe that the secret behind the longevity of bats might help humans enjoy longer lives. Two researchers from the University of Maryland (UMD) studied the evolutionary history of many known chiropteran species. They identified four bat species that live […]

(Natural News) Stem cell therapy is a modern approach developed for tissue regeneration. This approach, also known as regenerative medicine, mainly involves the replacement of diseased or damaged cells with healthier and newer cells. Although stem cell therapy was initially conceived with embryonic stem cells as its main components, controversy regarding the use of such […]

(Natural News) Photoaging (premature aging) is one of the many unfortunate consequences of excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays – harmful forms of electromagnetic radiation coming from the sun and other artificial sources of light. When the skin is repeatedly exposed to radiation, its normal structure gradually gets altered, resulting in the loss of moisture and […]

(Natural News) Gua sha is an alternative therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve muscle pain and tension. During gua sha treatment, a tool is used to scrape the skin. This action is believed to address the blockage of qi — the root cause of tension in the muscles and joints. Once the free flow of qi […]

(Natural News) Researchers identified a molecule that can prolong the lifespan of roundworms. The compound works by blocking an enzyme that plays a vital role in a cannabinoid pathway. The Scripps Research team also reported that the anti-aging biological pathway in the Caenorhabditis elegans roundworm is related to the cannabinoid pathways found in humans. “This study reveals a new life-extension […]

(Natural News) Monk fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii), also known as luo han guo, is a small, green, round fruit native to China. It is used in traditional Chinese medicine for various healing purposes, and researchers continue to explore the potential health benefits associated with this fruit. In a study published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, […]

(Natural News) Vascularization or vasculogenesis is defined as the differentiation of epithelial progenitor cells (EPCs) into mature epithelial cells to enable the formation of new blood vessels. In the body, vascularization is important for the efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to support tissue healing and bone formation. In a recent study published in The […]

(Natural News) Exercise is important for living a healthy life, and a new study encourages people, particularly those with osteoarthritis, to exercise more. Yes, people with osteoarthritis can and should exercise. Published in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, the study suggested that exercise can help prevent the degradation of cartilage caused by osteoarthritis. To be […]

(Natural News) In this study, researchers from different universities in South Korea investigated the proliferative effects of apple ethanol extract on two types of mesenchymal stem cells and identified the possible molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. The results of their study were published in the journal Nutrition Research. Adult stem cells (ASCs) are commonly used […]
