Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 21st 2021
This study showed that the leakage of this mitochondrial nucleic material may occur as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction, which may involve genetic mutations in genes encoding mitochondrial proteins or incomplete degradation of mitochondrial dsDNA in the lysosome - which is a 'degradation factory' of the cell. Upon the leakage into the cytoplasm, this undegraded dsDNA is detected by a 'foreign' DNA sensor of the cytoplasm (IFI16) which then triggers the upregulation of mRNAs encoding for inflammatory proteins." Using a PD zebrafish model (gba mutant), the researchers demonstrated that a combination of PD-like ph...

Yet Again We See A Technologically Ignorant Government Breaking Basic Information Management Rules!
This appeared last week: Clarity on COVID immunisation status on My Health Record The ADHA has issued new guidance to ensure patient records are correctly linking with up-to-date immunisation data. Morgan Liotta 10 Jun 2021 Recent upgrades to My Health Record(MHR) include a new consolidated view of immunisation details from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) and the individual ’s record, making it easier for healthcare providers to view their patients’ information.  To support the Australian Government ’s COVID-19 vaccination rollout, data from all states and territories is now flowing into MHR.

Details on the Failed Phase 3 Trial of the resTORbio mTORC1 Inhibitor
The short version of the story regarding the failure of resTORbio's phase 3 trial of an mTORC1 inhibitor targeting immune function and influenza infection in old people is that the FDA forced a last minute change of the phase 3 endpoint from the phase 2 endpoint of a reduction in clinically confirmed infections to a more nebulous outcome of whether or not people reported feeling better. Which is far from the worst offense that FDA staff have committed in the course of hindering the adoption of new medical technologies, but it is illustrative of the obstacle that regulators pose. We can all speculate as to what was going on...

In conclusion, a number of high-income countries, changes in health expectancies over time have not kept pace with the growth in life expectancy. That is, people are living longer but disability and poor health are occupying an increasing proportion of later life. Our findings suggest that countries still need to make significant progress to achieve the WHO's Decade of Healthy Ageing goal of healthier, longer lives for all.

Inflammaging and Disruption of Coagulation as Contributions to High COVID-19 Mortality in the Old
The burden of infectious disease falls most heavily upon the old. The attention given to COVID-19 has highlighted that point, though much of the media seems determined to avoid talking about the fact that near all mortality due to the condition occurs in the old and the cormorbid. It is nothing new, of course. Influenza kills tens of thousands of old people every year in the US alone, without much attention given to it. That the elderly suffer and die is old news. It is, however, old news that we should revisit in this era of revolutionary progress in medical biotechnology. The causes of aging and age-related mortality are...
