It's called senescence, when stressed cells can no longer divide to make new cells, and it's considered a factor in aging and in some diseases. Now scientists have some of the first evidence that at a younger age at least, senescent cells show up quickly after a major injury and are protective. Scientists report that shortly after hemorrhagic shock occurs, a population of liver cells quickly become senescent. "If the cells switch immediately to a senescent state, they may help prevent organ failure," says Dr. Raju. "The results suggest that the induction of acute senescence may be a necessary process...

Controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has taken to Twitter to air his grievances over President Biden and the state of the economy. Paul posted a direct message aimed at Biden in which he listed reasons as to why the country wasn't doing well and where it was heading. 'Biden accomplishments 1. Highest gas prices 2. Worst inflation 3. Plummeting crypto prices 4. Highest rent prices ever 5. Created new incomprehensible language,' he began. Paul wasn't finished and left a parting shot in his Saturday night message. 'If you’re reading this and voted for Biden and you still don’t regret it then...

Stubbornly hot U.S. inflation is fueling bets that the Federal Reserve will get more aggressive about trying to cool price pressures and even potentially ditch its own forward guidance by delivering a jumbo-sized interest rate hike in coming months. Fed policymakers had already all but promised half-point interest rate hikes at their meeting next week and again in late July, following May's half-point hike and the start of balance sheet reductions this month. That would be more policy tightening in the space of three months than the Fed did in all of 2018. On Friday, traders of futures tied to...

Bitcoin price continued its selloff as part of broader declines in cryptocurrencies after a sharp rise in US inflation triggered risk-off sentiment. The world’s largest digital token tumbled as much as 7% to $25,366, at 18-month low. The most popular crypto is down more than 43% so far this year (YTD), and is trading far below its record high of $69,000 it had hit in November last year.

Officials in the city of Amarillo, Texas on Wednesday asked for help regarding a peculiar problem: identifying a "strange" human-like animal that was seen outside a local zoo last month.

Polyphenols in foods we eat can prevent inflammation in older people, since they alter the intestinal microbiota and induce the production of the indole 3-propionic acid (IPA). Polyphenols are natural compounds, considered probiotics, which we eat mainly through fruits and vegetables. The study shows the interaction between polyphenols and gut microbiota can induce the proliferation of bacteria with the ability to synthetize beneficial metabolites, such as IPA, a postbiotic with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties that contributes to improve the health of the intestinal wall. Therefore, this compound would contribute to the prevention of some diseases associated with aging. Researchers...

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) appears to have used the January 6 committee as a political weapon against her primary opponent. It is no secret that Liz Cheney’s political career as an establishment Republican took a nosedive into oblivion when she sided with the Democrats in their January 6 witch hunt. Since then, her primary opponent, Harriet Hageman, has been trouncing Cheney in the polls and now leads by a whopping 30 points. After a dismal first hearing for the January 6 committee that pulled in just 19 million viewers across the United States, Liz Cheney has now subpoenaed former Donald...

"I am thankful that I met Jason as a result of our church's stand during COVID lockdowns" Pastor Tim Stephens of Fairview Baptist Church has preached at the funeral of one of Calgary's police officers a year after he was arrested for conducting worship services in violation of Alberta's health orders. Police arrested Pastor Stephens at his home last June and offered him bail on the condition that he abide by all public health orders. Pastor Stephens refused to agree to the stipulated conditions, as doing so would prevent him from caring for the church that has been entrusted to...

Good evening fellow Freepers. It's time for me to ask another in the long line of IT related questions, this time about suggestions for a new router for my home network. Currently I have a Netgear WNR3500Lv2 router. It's a combo wired and wireless router. It is hooked up to a DLink Modem, Model DCM-301. However, last month lightning struck right behind my place and it killed one of the ethernet ports on the router. Thank God the entire thing wasn't fried. But now I need to replace it, and I'd like to find something of a similar build in...

Now they are planning to descend on DC and disrupt the United States Supreme Court by creating a blockade that stops anyone from getting to their job in the building. Or something.

BISHOPS attending the forthcoming Lambeth Conference will not pass resolutions, but will instead make short statements known as “Lambeth Calls”, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said. This is to reflect better the fact that the Conference is “not there to order people about”. In a video message posted on the Lambeth Conference website on Thursday, Archbishop Welby says that bishops at the Conference, which meets for 12 days in Canterbury, starting on 26 July, will seek to “discern what God is saying to the Church, but to offer that discernment . . . to the whole Church, to every single...

Denver Newsroom, Jun 7, 2022 / 15:17 pm Catholic lawmakers in Colorado who voted for an extreme abortion bill that stripped all rights from the unborn child should refrain from receiving Holy Communion, the state’s four Catholic bishops have said in a letter. Voting for the Reproductive Health and Equity Act (RHEA) was “participating in a gravely sinful action because it facilitates the killing of innocent unborn babies,” said a letter to lawmakers from the state’s Catholic bishops. Catholic politicians who have voted for the legislation “have very likely placed themselves outside of the communion of the Church,” said the...

One of the oldest religious publications in the United States, America Magazine, published an article stating that the Catholic Church needs LGBT saints. Almost every Catholic has a saint who looks like him, but the Catholic Church has no saints of non-traditional orientation, nor do it have patron saints of LGBT parishioners, writes the article's author, associate editor and openly gay Jim McDermott. "Our actual existence in the history of the Church has never been acknowledged, and there are no blessings that we can recall. Nowhere do we find statues of people like us. We are not depicted on any...

However, the vaccine mandate will still apply to the Pontifical Swiss Guards.VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — After nearly two years, the Vatican has announced an end to its vaccine mandate and mandatory masking policies for visitors and most employees. In a decree published by Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano on June 2, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin announced that “entry to the dicasteries, bodies and offices that make up the Roman Curia and the institutions connected with the Holy See is permitted without the obligation” of having the proof of vaccination certificate known as the “super green pass.” Parolin also...
