Beyond the Scale: How organizations should evaluate the success of obesity management solutions
Conclusion Organizations have much to consider when evaluating obesity solutions for their population. It’s easy to be swayed by simple metrics that seem indisputable. But, in the end, outcomes like 5% weight loss and reductions in HbA1c for the majority of an eligible population are what counts. Sustainable outcomes rely on real behavior change, a careful step-therapy approach to medication, and personalized care when it comes to social determinants of health.

Q & A With Dylan Burnette: Muscle Cells, Cell Movement, and Microscopy
Courtesy of Dr. Dylan Burnette. “We scientists know very little of what can be known—I find that invigorating,” says Dylan Burnette, Ph.D., an associate professor of cell and developmental biology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee. “Most people find it exhausting, but I’m comfortable with not knowing all of biology’s secrets.” In an interview, Dr. Burnette shared his lab’s work on muscle cells, the knowledge he hopes readers take away from his research, and some advice to future scientists about being comfortable being wrong.

A High Level Popular Science View of the Longevity Industry
The article I'll point out today is an entirely unremarkable, high level tour of the most discussed, most notable portions of the longevity industry and related research efforts. Twenty years ago, we'd all have been delighted to see the media both noticing translational aging research at all, and then actually taking seriously the prospect of treating aging as a medical condition. We've come a long way to now see summary discussions of work on the treatment of aging as business as usual, not really worth mentioning. Still, articles like this miss near all of the really interesting projects, and that is the way of high leve...

A Discussion of Current Approaches Under Development for the Treatment of Aging
This open access paper tours a number of the present approaches under development to the treatment of aging as a medical condition, dwelling the most on therapies targeting senescent cells, either for destruction or to suppress the harmful senescence-associated secretory phenotype. We live in an exciting time of great potential, an age of accelerating progress in the capabilities of medical biotechnology, though it remains the case that too few people realize just how close we are to the widespread use of the first practical rejuvenation therapies. Aging poses one of the greatest challenges for modern medicine, as...
