Transferring the Naked Mole Rat Hyaluronan Synthase 2 Gene Into Mice Reduces Cancer Incidence, Extends Life
Naked mole rats live far longer than similarly sized mammals, and are near immune to cancer. One of the mechanisms of cancer resistance involves the production of a different form of high molecular weight hyaluronan, and much more of it, improving the anti-cancer mechanism of contact inhibition. In addition, other mechanisms derived from changes in hyaluronan may affect life span through improved cellular function, but this is less well explored. Researchers here take the naked mole-rat version of the gene for high molecular weight hyoluronan, hyaluronan synthase 2, and put it into mice. The result is less cancer, improved...

Bridging the Representation Gap in Biomedical Research
“We hope that students come out of our program feeling like they’re part of a community. Many of us feel inadequate or struggle in some way during graduate school—it can be a challenging time. I want to build a community that our students can always come back to for support,” says Elana Ehrlich, Ph.D., the co-director of the Bridges to the Doctorate Research Training Program (B2D) at Towson University in Towson, Maryland, alongside Michelle Snyder, Ph.D.. The Towson B2D is one of several NIGMS-supported B2Ds, which are dedicated to developing a diverse pool of well-trained biomedical scientists who will transiti...

A Perspective on the Coming Regulatory Shift to Approval of Drugs to Treat Aging
At some point, regulatory bodies that oversee the development of new medicine will accept that therapies can target causative mechanisms of aging in order to slow or reverse the progression of aging, and that there are viable ways to assess new treatments that treat aging. There is growing pressure from the academic community and longevity-focused biotech industry for the ability to run clinical trials to treat aging, rather than to treat one specific age-related disease. While inevitable, this change will take some years to come to pass, and likely require greater consensus in the research community on reasonable a...

A Senolytic Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies involve engineering a patient's T cells to add receptors complementary to a specific surface feature of a target cell population that one wants destroyed. This approach to therapy was pioneered in the cancer research community, and has performed well to date. Here, researchers demonstrate that it is possible to use a CAR-T approach to target senescent cells. Clearance of senescent cells in older individuals produces rejuvenation and reversal of many different age-related conditions in animal studies, and we might hope that the same will occur in humans. Cellular sen...

Ming Lei Departs Division for Research Capacity Building
It’s with mixed emotions that I share that Ming Lei left our Division for Research Capacity Building (DRCB) earlier this month to become senior associate vice president for research and graduate education at West Virginia University (WVU) Health Sciences. Ming also joined the faculty in WVU’s School of Medicine as vice dean for research and a professor in the department of microbiology, immunology, and cell biology. Ming has been part of the NIH community since 2008, serving in key positions at the National Cancer Institute before joining NIGMS in 2018. During his tenure in DRCB, Ming led numerous initiatives to...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 21st 2023
This study aimed to investigate the association between frailty index and circulating CAP2 concentration in 467 community-dwelling older adults (median age: 79; range: 65-92 years). The selected robust regression model showed that circulating CAP2 concentration was not associated with chronological age, as well as sex and education. However, circulating CAP2 concentration was significantly and inversely associated with the frailty index: a 0.1-unit increase in frailty index leads to ~0.5-point mean decrease in CAP2 concentration. Furthermore, mean CAP2 concentration was significantly lower in frail participants (i.e., fr...

Patient complaints prompt hospital to reevaluate doctor ’ s bedside manner
Tom, a doctor friend, recently told me he was reprimanded by Michael, his hospital’s medical chief of staff, after two patients lodged complaints against him. One instance involved a man whom Tom informed of a cancer recurrence. When the man cried, Tom put his hand on the man’s knee, attempting to comfort him. However, the Read more… Patient complaints prompt hospital to reevaluate doctor’s bedside manner originally appeared in KevinMD.com.
