Intermittent fasting is a possible way to induce autophagy. Under normal conditions, when the cell has sufficient nutrients, autophagy degrades damaged components in the cell. When fasting starves the cells, autophagy helps digest some of the cell components, to provide the necessary energy for sur...
Autophagy is a process of cellular self-degradation in which portions of the cytoplasm are sequestered within cytosolic double-membrane vesicles and delivered to the lysosome/vacuole. This process occurs in all eukaryotic cells and is partly a stress response; autophagy is induced during starvation and...

If 16 hours of fasting feels too daunting at first, begin with a shorter fast lasting about 13 to 14 hours. Increase how long you fast as your body gets accustomed to it. While the 16/8 method has been shown to be generally safe for most people, longer fasts ranging from 14 to 72...
Too Long; Didn't ReadI had some free time over the holidays and wrote this article to showcase, on the basis of a personal story, many highly actionable, science-based, approaches and tools that can be used to significantly enhance intelligence. Companies Mentioned Coins Mentioned 1...
Exercise can regenerate stem cells to some degree. No pill can do that yet. Eat more plants, less processed meats. Some nutraceuticals have been studied that might increase healthspan, even lifespan. They include Senolytics, NAD+ precursors and upregulators of Autophagy.Last...
access sugar and fat for fuel as it needs them. When you’remetabolically flexible, your blood sugar stays stable, hormones stay in a healthy range, and your hunger-regulating hormones remain in balance. You’re able to go for long periods without eating, and you can say goodbye tohangry....
Over the last two decades, the understanding of how dysregulated ion channels and transporters are involved in carcinogenesis and tumor growth and progression, including invasiveness and metastasis, has been increasing exponentially. The present review s
While refined sugar may give you a quick energy boost, it can cause your blood sugar to crash not long afterward. Image Credit:Peter Dazeley/The Image Bank/GettyImages If you feel an afternoon slump coming on, your first instinct may be to grab a cookie or soda. After all, a jolt of...
3B, C). Due to the extraordinarily long lifetime of CP at the barbed end (>10 min), we could not visualize single CP molecules directly, but inferred dissociation indirectly from the moment of filament regrowth (Fig. 3B, C). Mono-exponential fits to the dwell time courses yielded the...
