Chinese Scientists Discover That Vitamin C Boosts The Reprogramming of Adult Cells Into Stem Cells…
January 4, 2010
Chinese scientists have found that vitamin C boosts the reprogramming of adult cells into stem cells, according to a new study published on Dec 24 by Cell Press in the journal Cell Stem Cell.
The study led by Dr. Duanqing Pei from the South China Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in Guangzhou, China found that vitamin C when it was applied to both mouse and human cells enhanced the regeneration of induced pluripotent stem cells or IPSCs.
IPSCs are embryonic like stem cells regenerated from adult cells. Certain adult cells have been known to be potentially reprogrammed to be transformed into some type stem cells, which scientists hope may be used in the future to grow tissue and or organs for medical applications.
Unfortunately, the process for the regeneration of stem cells of this type is not efficient enough. The scientists believed that reactive oxygen species or otherwise known as ROS during the reprogramming may be a factor that affects the efficiency.
5 Vitamins That Take Years Off Your Face…
December 20, 2009
You may eat your fruits and veggies. You may even pop a multi every day. Yet your skin care routine is still missing out on the value of vitamins. Research shows that these nutrients are essential for preventing and reversing many signs of aging. A well-balanced diet is important, of course — eating a variety of healthy foods helps keep skin supple and glowing. But the fact is, “the body delivers only a certain percentage of vitamins to your skin, no matter how much you ingest,” says Mary Lupo, MD, clinical professor of dermatology at Tulane University School of Medicine. Plus, there’s no way to send them straight to your crow’s feet or brown spots. The solution: Applying vitamins topically to deliver maximum anti-aging benefits — everything from improving texture and tone to fading under-eye circles. Follow this user’s guide to the letter, and soon your skin will look better than ever.
Do We Need a Multi Vitamin? The Short Answer is YES!!
December 12, 2009
Taking multivitamin supplements is an especially good idea for two groups of people. First, anyone who is not eating a balanced diet should consider taking a multivitamin supplement. If you are not eating the recommended servings of fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy and meat, you may not be getting enough vitamin C,calcium, vitamin A, zinc, iron, and all of the B vitamins. This includes vegetarians and people on weight-loss diets. For this group of people, it is important to look for 100 percent of the daily value of vitamin D, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, and folic acid when selecting a multivitamin supplement. Second, multivitamin supplements are a good idea for those over the age of 60. Most elderly people do not get sufficient nutrients and the process of aging itself makes it difficult to absorb certain nutrients. The primary areas of vitamin deficiency for elderly people are vitamin D, C, B6, B12, folic acid, zinc, calcium, and magnesium. Since elderly people may need higher doses of these particular vitamins, it may be best to look for a multivitamin that is tailored to older people. Centrum Silver, for one, is a highly acclaimed multivitamin supplement for people 50 years of age or older. Please note that if you have any serious chronic medical conditions, you may have special requirements and should consult your doctor before taking a multivitamin supplement.
