Forget vanity, there's a much better reason to want to banish wrinkles - a new theory suggests skin ageing is causing widespread ageing throughout your body and brain newscientist.com/article/236609…
As skin ages, it degenerates dramatically. In the epidermis, stem cell proliferation slows down, leading to progressive thinning – we lose up to half this layer over our lifetime – and a roughening of its surface

What qualifies as trauma has become a hotly debated issue, with implications for treating people who experience PTSD newscientist.com/article/mg2543…
Giving birth. A car accident. Racial abuse. Many of us feel we have experienced things we would describe as traumatic
