Mayo researchers and several collaborators, have shown that a small molecule drug can counter age-related-NAD+ decline and restore healthy function to the mice. Much more research is needed but the findings, published in Cell Metabolism, demonstrate a possible approach that might be taken one day to control aging effects and other unmet needs in patients. https://mayocl.in/2s16SRN

These rocks – which formed in lake beds – are the best place to seek fossil evidence of life from billions of years ago, researchers say.
A new study that sheds light on where fossils might be preserved could aid the search for traces of tiny creatures – known as microbes – on Mars, which it is thought may have supported primitive life forms around four billion years ago.
Ancient rocks
A team led by an Edinburgh researcher has determined that sedimentary rocks made of compacted mud or clay are the most likely to contain fossils. These rocks are rich in iron and a mineral called silica, which helps preserve fossils.
They formed during the Noachian and Hesperian Periods of Martian history between three and four billion years ago. At that time, the planet’s surface was abundant in water, which could have supported life.
The rocks are much better preserved than those of the same age on Earth, researchers say. This is because Mars is not subject to plate tectonics – the movement of huge rocky slabs that form the crust of some planets – which over time can destroy rocks and fossils inside them.
Mars missions
The team reviewed studies of fossils on Earth and assessed the results of lab experiments replicating Martian conditions to identify the most promising sites on the planet to explore for traces of ancient life.
Their findings could help inform NASA’s next rover mission to the Red Planet, which will focus on searching for evidence of past life. The US space agency’s Mars 2020 rover will collect rock samples to be returned to Earth for analysis by a future mission.
A similar mission led by the European Space Agency is also planned in coming years. The latest study could aid in the selection of landing sites for both missions, and help identify the best places to gather rock samples.
The study, published in Journal of Geophysical Research, also involved researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Brown University, California Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University in the US.

Senate aide's backchannel with 'Dracula' helped free Utah man in Venezuela
Although Sen. Bob Corker sealed the deal in a few tense-filled hours in Venezuela's collapsing, crime-filled capital, the push to secure Holt's release began months earlier by Corker's top Latin American policy aide, Caleb McCarry, who both Corker and Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, credited with leading the painstaking, behind-the-scenes negotiations.

Apple rejects Valve Steam Link app after initially approving it, offers vague reasoning for the ban
The Steam Link app was set to launch on iOS recently, but Apple had a change of heart and rejected the app after initially approving it. The initial reasoning was a very vague "business conflicts with app guidelines" and though clarification has now been offered, it's hardly any more helpful.

#NorthKorea's leader #KimJongUn and South Korean President #MoonJaein met for the second time in a month on Saturday (May 26), holding a surprise summit at a border truce village to discuss Kim's potential meeting with President Donald #Trump. Kim and Moon met hours after #SouthKorea expressed relief over revived talks for a summit between Trump and Kim following a whirlwind 24 hours that saw Trump cancel the highly anticipated meeting before saying it's potentially back on.
Photos released by South Korea's presidential office showed Moon arriving at the northern side of the Panmunjom truce village and shaking hands with Kim's sister, #KimYoJong, before sitting down with Kim for their summit.

Aw, damn it. Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean has left this Earth for the last time. I met him once, when he signed a book of his paintings I'd bought, and he was nice to me.

"Researchers in Peru believe they have traced the origins of the Incas —the largest pre-Hispanic civilization in the Americas—through the DNA of the modern-day descendants of their emperors.
From their ancient capital Cusco, the Incas controlled a vast empire called Tahuantinsuyo, which extended from the west of present-day Argentina to the south of Colombia.
They ruled for more than two hundred years before being conquered by the invading Spanish in the 16th century.
The empire included the mountain-top citadel of Machu Picchu in modern-day Peru—now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major tourist attraction.
After becoming fascinated by the Inca culture, their organizational skills and their mastery of engineering, researchers Ricardo Fujita and Jose Sandoval of Lima's University of San Martin de Porresit became interested in the genetic profile of their descendants.
They said the aim of the study, the first of its kind, was to reveal whether there was a unique Inca patriarch.
"It's like a paternity test, not between father and son but among peoples," Fujita told AFP.
The scientists wanted to verify two common legends about the origin of the Incas.
One attributes them to a couple from around Lake Titicaca, in Peru's Puno region. The other identifies the first Incas as the Ayar brothers from the Pacaritambo mountain in the Cusco region".
