    Study recognizes new arrangement of performing multiple tasks taste cells

    Our mouths might be home to some recently discovered group of multi-tasking taste cells -;unlike most famous flavor cells, which discover individual preferences -;are effective at detecting sour, sweet, bitter and umami stimulation. A research team headed by Kathryn Medler at the University at Buffalo reports this discovery in a research published 13th August in

    Sulforaphane draws out life expectancy and healthspan of C. elegans through insulin/IGF-1 flagging

    Aging-US released”Sulforaphane boosts C. elegans longevity and healthspan through DAF- 16/DAF-2 insulin/IGF-1 signaling” which reported that the broccoli-derived isothiocyanate sulforaphane inhibits inflammation, oxidative stress and cancer, but its impact on healthspan and longevity are unclear. The writers used the C. elegans nematode version and fed the wildtype and 9 mutant strains ±sulforaphane. Sulforaphane increased the
