A human trial of the new technique is being planned by plastic surgeons at a London hospital. The trial will study whether fat cells can be induced to multiply and fill a breast-shaped mold implanted under the chest skin to recreate a breast after mastectomy. Australian scientists also recently announced that they would start similar treatments on women within six months, following animal studies involving mice and pigs that successfully re-grew breasts from fat. If the human trials are as successful, this new technique could transform breast reconstruction surgery,...

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if that was true? You go on a diet, you lose weight and a bunch of cells, and you’d never gain weight again. Except it ain’t true, as anybody who went on a diet knows; unless you stick with your diet forever you will gain back the weight you had lost. Why is that?Your fat cell allowanceIn theory,there are two ways you can increase your body fat: you can increase the number of fat cells in the body, and you can store more fat in each cell. The second way, increase of the fat content per cell, has been amply documented; the reason we have so much evidence for that mode of weight gain is that it is quite easy to document. All that needs to be d...

A gallon of ice scream in one sitting is not unheard of. But people who think deeply about such things asked themselves: why don’t they (people under stress) gorge on veggies? And what is the nature of the connection between stress and obesity? Is it simply overeating equalsobesity, or is there a deeper connection, involving the brain? After all, stress is a mind thing.The physiology of acute stress Almost every physiological action in our body is controlled by two systems: the autonomic nervous system, and the endocrine system. The autonomic nervous system has this name because it is, well, autonomic: it marches to its own drum, if you will, independently of ...

I picked a few posts that were useful for diabetics… and a few that are just darn good! Enjoy. Scott over at Health and Men offers up … Diabetes is a wide spread and ever so growing disease. In fact more that 21 million Americans (lets not forget the rest of the world too) suffer from diabetes. I know what your saying, “Diabetes doesn’t effect me…but what can I do to help or make a difference?”. Or thats what I’m hoping your saying. Here is what you can do. Go online to diabetes.org/stepout or call 1-866-605-STEP. Ruth at Eating Fabulous shares… Looking for a place to dine out where you can have healthy meals?

It's just the latest suggestion from gene therapy supporters who see engineering at the molecular and DNA level as the way cancer may be ultimately defeated.It's exciting to see that developments at the gene level be researched and experiments be suggested. Tumors that now evade detection by traditional tests could be possibly obliterated by nanotechnology robots or engineered cells that go far beyond the capabilities of current biological tests. Here's hoping the next 20 years see the kind of breakthroughs in cancer treatment that today seem like science fict...
