We are something like thirty years into the increasingly widespread use of first generation stem cell therapies. Cells are derived from a variety of sources, processed, and transplanted into patients. Near all ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 22nd 2022
In conclusion, application of a multi-species bat epigenetic clock provides strong evidence that hibernation is associated with slower epigenetic ageing. The multi-species clock explains 94% of the variation in the chronological ages of both hibernating and non-hibernating big brown bats; however, the clock estimates are equal to or greater than the chronological age, suggesting big brown bats age slightly faster than a 'typical' bat, especially during the active period.

Klotho in the Pathology of Aging
Klotho is a longevity-associated protein; more of it slows aging, less of it accelerates aging, at least in animal studies. While researchers have spent considerable effort investigating the effects of klotho on the brain, as it improves cognitive function, it seems likely that its effects arise via improved kidney function in old age. Loss of kidney function, and thus clearance of metabolic toxins and waste from the bloodstream, is harmful to tissues throughout the body. Manipulation of klotho may be a good way to assess just how much harm is generated by the age-related decline of the kidneys.
The subject of thi...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 8th 2022
In conclusion, aging research will benefit from a better definition of how specific regulators map onto age-dependent change, considered on a phenotype-by-phenotype basis. Resolving some of these key questions will shed more light on how tractable (or intractable) the biology of aging is.

Are Pharmacological Approaches to Slow Aging in Fact Promising?
Today's open access review paper looks over a selection of what I would consider to be largely unpromising small molecules, each with evidence for their ability to slow aging, but very modestly and unreliably in most cases. Looking at the bigger picture, for much of the public it is still surprising to hear that the pace of aging can be adjusted via any form of therapy, so there is probably a role for simple, low-cost small molecule drugs in the process of education that leads to more serious efforts aimed at producing the means of human rejuvenation. Still, entirely too much effort is devoted towards small molecules that ...

In this study, we used the recently released Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip to compare such epigenetic modifications in C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2J (DBA) mice. We observed marked differences in age-associated DNA methylation in these commonly used inbred mouse strains, indicating that epigenetic clocks for one strain cannot be simply applied to other strains without further verification. Interestingly, the CpGs with highest age-correlation were still overlapping in B6 and DBA mice and included the genes Hsf4, Prima1, Aspa, and Wnt3a. Furthermore, Hsf4, Aspa, and Wnt3a revealed highly significant age-associated DNA methyla...

How to Relate to People With Low Truth Alignment
The first chapter of my book Personal Development for Smart People is called “Truth” because truth alignment is one of the fundamental principles of personal growth. In order to grow intelligently, we must face and accept reality in as many areas of life as we can. This often involves confronting and dealing with unpleasant truths that we’ve been avoiding for some time.
If we don’t get aligned with truth, we slide into falsehoods and denial, which can slow us down tremendously. Have you seen the lack of truth alignment playing out in the world recently? It’s hard not to notice it these days...

Considering the Longevity of Elephants
Much of the recent research into the longevity of large mammals such as elephants has focused on Peto's paradox. If the odds of cancer are based on the number of cells in the body, all of which undergo stochastic and potentially cancerous mutations at some rate, then how is it that large mammals, with many times more cells in their body, do not exhibit a correspondingly larger risk of cancer? The answer being that for larger mammals to evolve at all, their cancer risk must be managed downward by changes in cellular biochemistry that reduce mutation rate or more efficiently destroy potentially cancerous cells. In elephants ...

Aubrey de Grey on Progress in SENS Rejuvenation Research
In this recent interview with Aubrey de Grey touches on a number of areas of progress made by the research and development community in recent years, projects that lead towards rejuvenation therapies based on the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS). In the SENS view, supported by a very sizable literature accumulated over the past century, aging is caused by underlying processes of damage accumulation. What we think of as aging is a diverse collection of downstream consequences of that damage. Periodically repairing the underlying damage, allowing the normal maintenance of the body to continue as it woul...

In conclusion, we show that PVS morphology in mice is variable and that the structure and function of pia suggests a previously unrecognized role in regulating CSF transport and amyloid clearance in aging and disease.
Reversing Ovarian Fibrosis in Mice
https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/07/reversing-ovarian-fibrosis-in-mice/
Researchers here provide evidence for ovarian fibrosis to be an important mechanism in limiting the age at which female mammals can remain fertile. Interestingly, existing antifibrotic drugs can produce some reversal of this fibrosis, enough to restore ovulation in mice. Fibros...
