With my 40th birthday looming ahead of me in the next few weeks I do sometimes think (not to be morbid or anything) of how long I will live and if my life is half over, etc, etc (you get the point). I saw this article on “Surprising Signs You’ll Live Longer Than You Think” and could not resist sharing it with you. Now, I will say this, I do want to live a long time more (as long as I am in good health and can take care of myself) but I don’t want to outlive everyone in my peer group

New Gene for Alzheimer's Discovered

Scientists have discovered a gene that raises the risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease by as much as 77 percent and provides scientists with a second genetic target for developing new treatments for the disorder.

One copy of the gene, called calcium homeostasis modulator 1, or CALHM1, increases the likelihood of late-onset Alzheimer's by 44 percent, while two copies boost the risk 77 percent. About a quarter of the population has one copy, said study author Philippe Marambaud from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. The research was published in the journal Cell

sea-maid submitted, created time 5 months 1 week (www.sciencemag.org)

The defective lipid carrier apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) has accumulated a nasty record. Not only are people who have the gene for apoE4 famously predisposed to Alzheimer's disease, but the same risk factor can also worsen several nervous system disorders and promote cardiovascular disease. A study out this week suggests that apoE4 also hastens the death of people infected with HIV, possibly by allowing the virus easy entry into cells.

Can We Cure Aging?

Sue Wu submitted, created time 11 months 3 weeks (discovermagazine.com)

Jim Hammond is an elite athlete. He works out two hours a day with a trainer, pushing himself through sprints, runs, and strength-building exercises. His resting heart rate is below 50. He’s won three gold medals and one silver in amateur competitions this year alone, running races from 100 to 800 meters. In his division, he’s broken four national racing records. But perhaps the most elite thing about Hammond is his age.
