...aging and dementia at the University of California at Irvine, published a paper in Nature showing that physical exercise produces a protein that helps keep neurons from dying and spurs the formation of new neural connections in the brain. More recently, Cotman demonstrated in studies of elderly dogs and mice that enriching their social environment is associated with improvement in brain function...

In animal studies, says Dr. James Baker, the company's chairman of the board, the spray protected 90% of mice from a lethal dose of influenza. The company is also testing a combination of the traditional flu vaccine with the emulsion, which, says Baker, provides a 50-times-greater immune response than the vaccine alone, even if using only one-sixth the usual vaccine dose. This technique is still...
...We’ve been working on this test for two years now, and results from testing on laboratory mice have been very encouraging,” said Pichumani Balagurumoorthy, a research fellow in Kassis’ lab. While testing with human subjects has only just begun, Balagurumoorthy said, the first few of such tests have corroborated earlier findings...
Tests so far have had a 100 percent rate of success; Kassis said that while both human and mice testing had proven unerring in detecting the right kind of cancer, early-detection has yet to be tested in humans...
