I plan to compile a daily roundup of health news that I have read from various sources. I will do this every day if possible. Hopefully everyone will find at least something here useful.

Brain Region Found to Control Aging

For the first time, a brain region has been found that may control aging throughout the whole body, a new study reports.
A signaling pathway in the brain region known as the hypothalamus could speed up or slow down aging in mice. If it applies in humans, the discovery could open up possibilities for slowing age-related diseases and increasing life span.

Injectable nano-network controls blood sugar in diabetics for days at a time
by Matt Shipman
In a promising development for diabetes treatment, researchers have developed a network of nanoscale particles that can be injected into the body and release insulin when blood-sugar levels rise, maintaining normal blood sugar levels for more than a week in animal-based laboratory tests. The work was done by researchers at North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Children's Hospital Boston.
