 Depriving Deadly Brain Tumors Of Cholesterol May Be Their Achilles’ Heel

In mouse models, alternative approach proves promising against hard-to-treat cancer.

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and The Scripps Research Institute, with colleagues in Los Angeles and Japan, report that depriving deadly brain cancer cells of cholesterol, which they import from neighboring healthy cells, specifically kills tumor cells and caused tumor regression and prolonged survival in mouse models.

The findings, published in the online October 13 issue of Cancer Cell, also present a potential alternative method for treating glioblastomas (GBM), the most common and most aggressive form of brain cancer. GBMs are extremely difficult to treat. The median survival rate is just over 14 months, with few treated patients living five years or more past diagnosis.

It’s not unusual Trump’s accusers took many years to come forward. Most women never report sexual assault at all.

My Greatest Success as a Global Youth Ambassador at A World At School: "Most of us know that education - or the lack of it - is a problem. We see children, not only on the news, but also in our own communities being denied this right, and when I became a Global Youth Ambassador the realisation grew. I had the privilege of being a part of the letter-writing team for the Safe Schools campaign. I also campaign for education as an important, but ignored, child right, via Child Awareness Project (www.theCAPro.org), an organisation I founded, using statistics from Their World and A World at School. I realise that there often seems to be a large gap between our efforts and the problem. But we mustn't forget that, every action, no matter how small it seems, can and will make a difference. Whether it's writing an article, signing a petition or tweeting about an issue - every bit counts." - International Youth Day '16 http://www.aworldatschool.org/news/entry/International-Youth-Day-celebrate-our-amazing-Global-Youth-Ambassadors-2776

Researchers at Yale University asked 3,635 participants over 50 years-old about their reading habits. From that data, they split the cohort into 3 groups: non-readers, people who read less than 3.5 hours per week, and people who read more than 3.5 hours per week. The researchers followed up with each group for 12 years. The people who read the most were college-educated women in the higher-income group. Over the course of the study, the researchers consistently found that both groups of readers lived longer than the non-readers. The readers who read over 3.5 hours a week lived a full 23 months longer than the people who didn’t read at all. That extended lifespan applied to all reading participants, regardless of “gender, wealth, education or health” factors, the study explains. That’s a 20% reduction in mortality created by a sedentary activity. That’s a big deal, and a very easy fix for improving quality of life in anyone over 50.

It’s the children the world almost breaks who grow up to save it.

Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself.
