Smoking linked with aging on skin that usually is not exposed to sunlight

A new study from the University of Michigan Health System adds another dimension to the link between cigarette smoking and skin damage. The study suggests that smoking may be associated with a higher degree of aging on areas of skin, such as that of the inside of the upper arm, that are not normally exposed to sunlight.

   11-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Even in young women, depression is as potent a risk factor for osteoporosis as are low calcium intake, smoking, and lack of exercise, NIH researchers have found. Imbalances in the immune system appear to be involved. Depression generally isn't on clinicians' radar screens as a risk factor for bone-thinning -- but it should be.

7. Potential New Target For Skin Cancer Treatment
   10-05-2006 · ScienceDaily
   When normal skin cells become a melanoma tumor, they sometimes turn on genes not usually found in the skin. According to researchers at the University of Virginia Health System, some of these genes are normally active in the male testis at the time sperm are formed. The genes, called cancer-testis antigens, could be useful targets for drugs that could selectively kill a melanoma tumor, while sparing the rest of the body's tissues.

    01-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Surveyors of anti-aging elixirs tout human growth hormone as a remedy for all things sagging-from skin to libidos -- and claim it can even prevent or reverse aging. But researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine say there's no evidence to suggest that this purported fountain of youth has any more effect than a trickle of tap water when it comes to fending off Father Time.
