Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 23rd 2022
In conclusion, remofuscin activates the lysosome-to-nucleus pathway in C. elegans, thereby increasing the expression levels of xenobiotic detoxification genes resulted in extending their lifespan. Naked Mole-Rat Skin Shows Fewer Signs of Aging https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/05/naked-mole-rat-skin-shows-fewer-signs-of-aging/ Naked mole-rats exhibit a maximum life span that is many times longer than is the case for similarly sized mammals. Further, they are negligibly senescent, showing few age-related declines in function across much of that lengthy life span. That includes maintenance of stem c...

Few Evident Relationships Between Accelerated Epigenetic Aging and Cancer
Epigenetic clocks are produced by identifying characteristic shifts in epigenetic marks with age, the decorations on the genome that control gene expression. It remains unclear as to the exact relationship between specific epigenetic marks and the underlying damage and dysfunction of aging, and so it remains unknown as to how comprehensively epigenetic clocks reflect the processes of aging: do all of the processes of aging contribute, or only some of them? If the latter, it will be hard to use epigenetic clocks to assess the quality of potential rejuvenation therapies. Removing that uncertainty will require a great deal of...

In this study, we tested the therapeutic potential of VHHASC and a newly generated VHH against murine ASC (VHHmASC) to target ASC specks in vitro and in vivo. We show that pre-incubation of extracellular ASC specks with VHHASC abrogated their inflammatory functions in vitro. Recombinant VHHASC rapidly disassembled pre-formed ASC specks and thus inhibited their ability to seed the nucleation of soluble ASC. Notably, VHHASC required prior cytosolic access to prevent inflammasome activation within cells, but it was effective against extracellular ASC specks released following caspase-1-dependent loss of membrane integrity, an...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 18th 2022
In conclusion, our results suggest that SAH extends lifespan by inducing MetR or mimicking its downstream effects. Since the lifespan-extending effects of SAH are conserved in yeast and nematodes, and MetR extends the lifespan of many species, exposure to SAH is expected to have multiple benefits across evolutionary boundaries. Our findings offer the enticing possibility that in humans the benefits of a MetR diet can be achieved by promoting Met reduction with SAH. The use of endogenous metabolites, such as SAH, is considered safer than drugs and other substances, suggesting that it may be one of the most feasible ways to ...

Bacteria Promote Cancer Metastasis
Given the onset of a particular type of cancer, why does that cancer become a much worse prospect for only some individuals? Why are some people more prone to metastasis, for example? A perhaps underappreciated factor is the interaction of infectious agents with the tumor microenvironment, as researchers discuss here. Exposure to pathogens, and particularly persistent pathogens, may be a good explanation for many areas of medicine in which only some people bearing all of the traditional risk factors go on to develop the worst outcomes. Microbes play a critical role in affecting cancer susceptibility and tumor prog...

Are my coping skills a result of my emergency medicine training?
In the wake of a harrowing year, I ’m left wondering, is a career in emergency medicine worth it? Like so many of my colleagues, I suffered personal tragedies during the pandemic that exacerbated the incredible stress at work. My brother died in March of 2021, three weeks after receiving a diagnosis of metastatic colon cancer,Read more …Are my coping skills a result of my emergency medicine training? originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Aging of the Intestinal Barrier as a Driving Cause of Chronic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a feature of aging, and causes disruption of cell and tissue function throughout the body. Short term inflammation is a necessary feature of regeneration from injury and defense against pathogens, but when inflammatory signaling is maintained for the long term it becomes very harmful. The risk of suffering all of the common diseases of aging is strongly connected to raised inflammation. Given this, we might ask what causes age-related systemic inflammation, and thus where should the research community seek to intervene, in order to reverse this undesirable aspect of degenerative aging. A grow...

Cell-Loaded Beads Release Cytokines to Eradicate Tumors
In this study, we demonstrated that the ‘drug factories’ allow regulatable local administration of interleukin-2 and eradication of tumor in several mouse models, which is very exciting. This provides a strong rationale for clinical testi...

This study tests the feasibility of chronically elevating skeletal muscle NAD+ in mice and investigates the putative effects on mitochondrial respiratory capacity, insulin sensitivity, and gene expression. The metabolic effects of NR and PT treatment were modest. We conclude that the chronic elevation of skeletal muscle NAD+ by the intravenous injection of NR is possible but does not affect muscle respiratory capacity or insulin sensitivity in either sedentary or physically active mice. Our data have implications for NAD+ precursor supplementation regimens. Muscle Strengthening Activities in Later Life Correlate ...

Many Mediocre Cancer Therapies Become Much Better When More Targeted to Cancerous Tissues
One of the important areas of cancer research and development that appears to receive a great deal of attention and funding, but in practice seems slow to make it from the laboratory to the clinic, is the targeting of therapeutics to cancerous cells. Reductio ad absurdum, near any of dozens of existing chemotherapeutics would do the job of completely clearing tumors, with minimal to no side-effects, if one could only find a way to delivery tiny amounts of the therapeutic to every cancer cell while avoiding every healthy cell. The inability to target treatments this effectively is exactly why cancer remains such a problem. ...

Muscle Strengthening Activities in Later Life Correlate with Reduced Mortality
Past studies have demonstrated reduced mortality as a result of strength training in older individuals. Muscle tissue is metabolically active, involved in a range of processes in the body, such as insulin metabolism and control of inflammation. Here this review paper, researchers note the correlation between activities that strengthen muscle and lower mortality in epidemiological data. It is worth thinking about for those of us tempted to let the exercise schedule lapse as life moves on. Physical inactivity is a global public health problem. Regular engagement in muscle-strengthening activities (eg, resistance tra...

Join the Undoctored Boot Camp January 5th to the 14th
Undoctored, as its name suggests, puts personal control over health back in your hands. We continue many of the strategies of the Wheat Belly lifestyle but expand them with lessons learned through this worldwide experience, while adding new dimensions and practices. The Undoctored Wild, Naked, and Unwashed program causes you to revert back to the way humans were supposed to be eating and living all along to mimic the behavior and health of primitive people who have virtually no modern diseases such as diabetes, colon cancer, and obesity (still lived to old age if they did not succumb to injury or infection).  Learn: How...
