“The original Horvath clock is the foundational DNA methylation clock, trained to estimate chronological age across many human tissues and cell types. Its main strength is cross-tissue age estimation—making it useful for studying tissue aging, cancer, development, and cellular reprogramming—rather than mortality prediction.”

“Stimulating amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle and inhibiting protein breakdown. Regulating electrolyte balance and ion concentrations within our cells. Stimulating growth and proliferation (especially during fetal development and puberty).”

“Dr. Bruce Ames' Triage Theory Dr. Ames proposed that the body does a strategic rationing so that those proteins and enzymes in the body which are essential for short-term survival get their share of vitamins and minerals at the expense of other proteins and enzymes that are essential for long-term survival.”

“Many other components in breast milk have been identified and are too numerous to list here, including a vast array of growth factors, immunomodulatory factors, and cell signaling proteins. Breastfeeding enhances infant brain development Breastfeeding profoundly affects an infant's brain, greatly influencing intellectual development.”

“Read more about CRISPR here, since it's awesome.”

“Wheezing was 3x as common among children who grew up without exposure to allergens.”

“Several factors may be at play in the development of breast cancer, but strong epidemiological and mechanistic data point to the roles of obesity, inflammation, and lifestyle factors in mediating risk.”

“Dr. Patrick favors cotton for sweaty, high-friction activity and takes extra caution with children because development is sensitive. This is her precautionary approach; the excerpt does not quantify absorbed dose from one shirt, underwear, or workout.”

“Establishing these new circuits depends upon adequate neurogenesis, the process of forming new neurons. Neurogenesis is essential during embryonic development but continues in certain brain regions throughout the human lifespan.”

“Consumption of salmon roe may promote fetal neural development and reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in adults. Although consuming roe may carry some health risks, proper storage and handling of the product can reduce these risks.”
