Since the discovery of hallmark features of senescence such as cell cycle arrest, apoptosis resistance and development of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), efforts in understanding how senescent cells drive aging have grown exponentially. Targeting senescent cells with senolytics or senomorphics hold the potential to mitigate the vast majority of age-related disorders. However, the major challenge in developing novel senotherapies is the paucity of antiaging agents that have decent safety profiles. Prof. Sun Yu recently performed large scale screening of a natural medicinal agent library for senotherapeutic candidates and validated several agents, which showed their excellent potential to serve as...

Outside the ground floor safe room Mohamed Bazoum had recently renovated to protect himself from such an event, mutineers from his presidential guard fanned out across the presidency compound, furious about a proposal to replace their longstanding commander, according to Nigerien, U.S. and European officials. Hunkered over the phone beside his wife and son, Bazoum delicately encouraged advisers to send...

The jailed mom-of-three accused of setting up a hit on her football player husband led a “double life” in the Bahamas and didn’t hide her affair with the man who police say plotted alongside her, The Post can reveal. Lindsay Shiver, 36, portrayed herself as the perfect Southern belle housewife, with a flawless family and former Auburn football-player husband, Robert Shiver. Now she remains jailed in the notorious Fox Hill prison on the island of Nassau after police busted her alleged plot to kill husband of 13 years. She has yet to post $100,000 bail in the case. Sources said...

Anthrax is a bioweapon and the FDA has just approved a new vaccine for it which doesn’t work. The new vaccine is the old Anthrax vaccine with a novel adjuvant added – so it cannot possibly be safer than the bad old vaccine. Adverse reactions to the anthrax vaccine include immune disorders, muscle and joint pain, headaches, rashes, fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea, chills and fever and birth defects. Cyfendus is a vaccine claimed to prevent Anthrax. Just over a week ago, the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved the vaccine to be administered in two doses over 14 days after...

Children as young as seven will get transgender treatment on the NHS, according to plans seen by The Telegraph. In details of the new service to replace the controversial Tavistock clinic, NHS England has set out how it will limit the use of puberty blockers and ban activists and teachers from referring children for treatment. For the first time, it has set a minimum age of seven for referral to the gender identity clinics. These children will be offered psychological support and therapy that will focus on issues that may have led to their feelings about their gender. However, experts...

Physical fitness is a cornerstone of military readiness. Historically, this quality has helped American servicemembers fight and win over numerically superior enemies. Nevertheless, Congress has rarely taken much interest in a service’s military physical fitness testing — until now. On Thursday night, the Senate approved its version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Section 557 of that bill would scrap the current Army Combat Fitness Test and replace it with the old Army Physical Fitness Test. Meanwhile, the House version of the NDAA proposes requiring a gender-neutral fitness test for combat arms positions. In both cases, the issue is...

QUESTION: Marty, Your experience in law is well known. What is your opinion of Trump’s new indictment? Paul ANSWER: Never in the entire history of the United States have we EVER witnessed such political corruption using the Department of Justice. They had tapes of Richard Nixon that would have convicted him but they did not prosecute him for fear that it was not in the best judgment for the nation. Nixon had won by the highest vote, and the fact that the people caught in the break-in were actually CIA people. Nixon had a meeting with the head of the...

There’s a good chance that you experience an unpleasant degree of performance pressure from time to time in your environs, whatever they might be. Lord knows even the executioner is not immune to it. But it’s doubtful very many are under the sort of professional pressure that Swedish general Charles Emil Lewenhaupt succumbed to on this date in 1743, when he was beheaded for command incompetence thanks to his country’s defeat in the 1741-1743 Russo-Swedish War. An aggressive political faction of “Young Turks” — er, Young Swedes — known as the Hats had kicked the country’s cautious former president to...
