“FTA: > By injecting MSCs into mouse leg muscles prior to several bouts of eccentric exercise (similar to the lengthening contractions performed during resistance training in humans that result in mild muscle damage), researchers were able to increase the rate of repair and enhance the growth and strength of those muscles in the exercising mice.”

“Researchers tested the ability of several oxysterols (naturally occurring cholesterol-like molecules) in human breast milk to promote the production of oligodendrocytes, a type of cell that stimulates white matter development.”

“Findings of a new report show that lifelong exercisers have more youthful muscles that resist denervation. Satellite cells are stem cells that proliferate, fuse together, and form the long tubular structures than comprise muscle fibers.”

“Randomized controlled trial finds that reducing food intake lowered metabolic rate during sleep by 10% and reduced DNA damage, a biomarker for aging, by 20% in healthy adults. DNA damage accumulates with age and plays a role in cancer, stem cell dysfunction, and more.”
