Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 26th 2023
This study explored the association between different cooking fuel types and the risk of cancer and all-cause mortality among seniors constructing Cox regression models. Data were obtained by linking waves of 6, 7, and 8 of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, which included a total of 7,269 participants who were 65 years old and over. Cooking fuels were categorized as either biomass, fossil, or clean fuels. And the effects of switching cooking fuels on death risk were also investigated using Cox regression models. The results indicate that, compared with the users of clean fuels, individuals using bio...

The Concept of Immune Resilience and Its Relevance to Degenerative Aging
The aging of the immune system is widely considered a progressive loss of functional capacity, such as the ability to effectively destroy pathogens and errant cells (known as immunosenescence), coupled to rising levels of unresolved, chronic inflammation (known as inflammaging). In today's open access paper, the authors are more interested in how well the immune system brings itself back to an equilibrium state following the disruptions of an inflammatory response. They call this capacity for restoration "immune resilience". In this framework, aging brings a loss of the ability to restore normality to the immune system fol...

The power of liquid biopsies and the challenge of health care disparities
Laura Nuttall was diagnosed with deadly brain cancer at the age of 18 after going for a routine eye exam. She completed an incredible bucket list, which included meeting Michelle Obama, driving a monster truck, and commanding a Royal Navy warship before ultimately succumbing to her cancer this past Monday at the age of 23.

The inspirational journey of an 82-year-old WWII veteran battling cancer
He was 82 years old when he came into our ER, writhing in excruciating abdominal pain. After an ultrasound and a subsequent CT scan, the devastating diagnosis was revealed—end stage pancreatic and liver cancer. Despite enduring a pain level of 10, he managed to maintain his sense of humor, joking about “biting the bullet.” However, Read more… The inspirational journey of an 82-year-old WWII veteran battling cancer originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Senolytic Drug Discovery as a Proving Ground for New Machine Learning Approaches
In principle, machine learning can be used to make small molecule drug discovery run more rapidly, more cost-effectively, and with a greater chance of success. The development of senolytic drugs to clear senescent cells is a good proving ground for this type of approach, and will likely accelerate investment into machine learning driven drug discovery platforms with broad application. Firstly, the state of the science shows that senescent cells are vulnerable to mechanisms that can be targeted effectively by small molecules. Secondly, it is also clear that far from all of these mechanisms are known and much remains to be d...

Attacking Cancer by Disabling Macrophage Recognition of CD47 " Don ' t Eat Me " Marker
CD47 is a "don't eat me" decoration found on the surface of cells. This is a necessary mechanism for the prevention of autoimmunity, but it is also subverted by cancer in order to prevent the innate immune system from attacking tumor cells. The cancer research community has investigated a range of approaches to prevent CD47 from holding back the immune response to cancerous cells. One possibility, demonstrated here, is to engineer the innate immune cells known as macrophages in order to block the CD47 interaction and thus ensure an aggressive response to cancerous cells. Cancer remains one of the leading causes of...

Will Success in Reversing Aging Shape the Regulatory System to Accommodate It?
A sizable fraction of the therapies produced by the medical industry are, not to put too fine a point on it, garbage. The benefit is not worth the cost of diverting the resources into the full scale production of the drug, versus those resources going towards some better form of medical research and development. Giving a cancer patient an extra month or two of life, reducing fibrosis in the liver by 10% over a year of treatment, incrementally improving mitophagy to half the degree that exercise achieves, and so forth. Small molecule development in particular excels at producing this sort out outcome, as the effects on gene...

Age-Related Dysfunction of Water Homeostasis https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/06/age-related-dysfunction-of-water-homeostasis/ Dehydration can be an issue in older people. As in every complex system in the body, the mechanisms by which hydration is regulated become dysfunctional with advancing age. Researchers here look at the brain region responsible for regulating some of the response to dehydration, cataloging altered gene expression in search of the more important mechani...
