Sometimes I find myself sitting in one spot for hours, staring at nothing, thinking of nothing, feeling nothing, and most disturbingly, caring about nothing.

Scientists edited mice brains so that they live longer — and humans could be next

In the future, scientists may edit our brains to help us live longer.

Researchers managed to successfully manipulate the lifespan of mice by adjusting their brain’s supply of hypothalamic neural stem cells, which they thought might regulate aging.

These neural stem cells create replacements for dead or damaged cells, but for mice, they begin vanishing around 10 months after birth — which is a typical mouse’s middle age, believe it or not. By the time mice turn the elderly age of 2, the stem cells are often nowhere to be found.

“By replenishing these stem cells or the molecules they produce, it’s possible to slow and even reverse various aspects of aging throughout the body,” Dongsheng Cai, a molecular pharmacologist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, said in a release. Read more (7/27/17)

Maturity is when you learn to live with the void instead of trying to fill it ..

New Moon :

He opened the door, seeing her sitting at the couch scrolling through her phone . He gulped & took a deep breath , “Hey” he said quietly , She looked up at him with blank eyes . “Can we talk ?” She just looked back down at her phone . “About yesterday . I …. I .. Want to .. I guess .. I was wrong .” She sighed & stood up , “I’m really not in the mood to talk” She grabbed her coat & shrugged it on. “Look , I’m really sorry for the outburst” “I’m going for a walk . Don’t wait up .” & then she was gone . When the door again opened six hours later , he shot up from his seat & heard a few thumps . He walked to the hallway & saw her flumbling with her shoes, trying to remove it . Obviously , She is drunk . “Where have you been .?” He asked . “Out” she replied . When she realised she wasn’t going to win against the shoes , She just let her head fall back on the wall and took a deep breath . “Let Me help you.” He moved towards her but she raised a hand . “You’ve done enough helping .” Then she stood up , one feet bare & askew “I’m tied of you helping me ” “Can we have this conversation when you’ve sober .?” . “No , you wanted to talk . We’ll talk now . Now is all you get ” He looked at her , looked into her eyes & saw the determination in it , But most of all , he saw the hurt that he put in there . “You are an asshole . You think that whatever you are doing to not hurt me is going to work when it won’t .! You still hurt me ! ” “I’m sorry ” He whispered . “That’s also what you’ve said last time . Aren’t you tired of apologizing .? ” He kept silent . “Well , I’m tired of hearing you apologize & I’m so tired of forgiving you .” Then comes the tears . “I’m just really tired of every thing ” She fall down to the floor & sobbed . He walked towards her , falling down to his knees in front of her . He reached for her hands & pulled her close to him . “If you want , you can rest . Just tell me . I’ll let you go . If you want .” She gripped his shirt & pull him to her . “No.. please don’t let me go.” He smiled a bit & held her “ then I won’t .”
