Alzheimer’s risk linked to Telomere Length – (Oy Vey)
This is the latest study linking shorter telomeres to disease (there are over 10,000) that once again falls victim to proving obvious yet useless information. In this study, they linked smaller hippocampal volumes (seen in Alzheimer’s) with shorter white blood cell telomeres in a subset of women with a genetic prediliction for Alzheimers (the abnormal ApoE3 gene).

Flaming Zombie Lemming Cars! (or why telomerase doesn’t cause cancer)
Simply stated, telomerase is neither pro nor anti-tumorigenic any more than a foot or a brake pedal cause car accidents while driving down a mountain. Telomerase, like a driver’s foot, prevents carcinogenesis by speeding up or slowing down the car.

“So doc, am I forty years younger… or just $500 poorer?”
For today’s #ScienceSunday, I am going to have to discuss a murky subject brought on by the recent telomere results of my patients which arguably showed massive improvements in telomere length without commensurate increases in biological age. Here is the email I received:

Mastroianna, Monicelli, Sophia Loren, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Carl Sagan, & Hypatia
When you think about Marcello and Sophia, you don’t think about suicide or counting the seconds – you think about sex, and passion, and the absurd joy of living
