Letting AI Physicians Into the Guild
BY KIM BELLARD Let’s be honest: we’re going to have AI physicians.   Now, that prediction comes with a few caveats. It’s not going to be this year, and maybe not even in this decade. We may not call them “physicians,” but, rather, may think of them as a new category entirely. AI will almost certainly first follow its current path of become assistive technology, for human clinicians and even patients.  We’re going to continue to struggle to fit them into existing regulatory boxes, like clinical decision support software or medical devices, until those boxes prove to be the wrong shape and size for ho...

Reprogramming Tumor Cells into Antigen-Presenting Cells
Today's research materials describe a clever approach to cancer immunotherapy, focused on the goal of enabling the immune system to better identify cancerous cells. In the past, researchers have made some inroads in training the immune system to attack specific target molecules characteristic of cancerous cells, but this is a slow and expensive process when progressing from single target to single target. Further, any given cancer might be capable of evolving to function without exhibiting any one specific target molecule, and only some cancers of a particular type will exhibit that specific signature molecule to start wit...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 13th 2023
In this study, we report the extensive and progressive accumulation of misfolded proteins during natural aging/senescence in different models, in the absence of disease. We coined the term age-ggregates to refer to this subset of proteins. Our findings demonstrate that age-ggregates exhibit the main characteristics of misfolded protein aggregates implicated in PMDs, including insolubility in detergents, protease-resistance, and staining with dyes specific for misfolded aggregates. Misfolded protein aggregates with these characteristics are thought to be implicated in some of today most prevalent diseases, including Alzheim...

Comparing Protein Restriction and Isoleucine Restriction in Aged Mice
Proteins are made up of amino acids. It is known that reducing only protein in the diet, while maintaining the same calorie intake, produces a modest slowing of aging. Some of the beneficial effects of reduced calorie intake, such as upregulation of autophagy and improved cell maintenance, are triggered by sensing protein levels rather than other components of diet. The sensor mechanisms are more specific than simply protein as a whole, however, and can be triggered by reducing levels of individual essential amino acids, meaning amino acids that are required for protein synthesis in cells, but must be consumed because they...

Inhibiting the NLRP1 Inflammasome Reduces the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype
A sizable portion of the chronic inflammation of aging is produced by the growing presence of senescent cells in tissues throughout the body. Senescent cells secrete a mix of pro-growth, pro-inflammatory signals (the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, SASP), useful when present in the short-term in the context of wound healing and suppression of cancer risk resulting from cell damage. When sustained over the long-term, however, this signaling becomes highly disruptive to tissue structure and function. The inflammatory mechanisms inside senescent cells that produce pro-inflammatory components of the SASP include the...

Cellular Senescence Promotes Malignant Brain Tumor Growth
Senescent cells act to suppress risk of cancer its very earliest stage. The pro-inflammatory secretions of cells made senescent as a result of mutational damage and the response of tumor suppressor genes attract the immune system to places in which damaged cells may give rise to a tumor. When senescent cells are present in larger numbers, and linger over time, as is the case in aged tissues, they actively encourage tumor growth, however. Here, researchers produce a compelling demonstration of this harmful consequence of cellular senescence, categorizing and eliminating senescent cells present in glioblastoma tumors in mice...

In this study, we develop a rFOXN1 fusion protein that contains the N-terminal of CCR9, FOXN1, and TAT. We show here that, when injected intravenously (i.v.) into aged mice, the rFOXN1 fusion protein can migrate into the thymus and enhance T cell generation in the thymus, resulting in increased number of peripheral T cells. Our results suggest that the rFOXN1 fusion protein has the potential to be used in preventing and treating T cell immunodeficiency in the older adult.

From cancer survivor to thriving mind: a journey to true healing and purpose
“I own the world!” was my exact thought when my doctors entered my bone-marrow transplant unit and said I was cancer-free! That joyous moment lasted a few seconds because they immediately declared, “Be careful, you have a 30 percent chance of recurrence from the same cancer and X percent chance of XYZ …” I don’t Read more… From cancer survivor to thriving mind: a journey to true healing and purpose originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Economics 101 continued
While the fictitious Free Market ™ fails to produce the purported paradise in general, the concept is glaringly absurd in the case of health care.* In the first place, asymmetrical information is part of the definition of the service -- the produce is expertise. If I knew everything my doctor knows, I wouldn ' t need one. In the second place, it has positive externalities that produce public goods. Infectious disease control is maybe the most obvious, but a healthier workforce, not having to watch people suffering and dying in the streets, † and fewer families psychologically burdened by premature loss are among the ma...
