THCB 20th Birthday Classic:  As I’ve always suspected, Health Care = Communism + Frappuccinos
By MATTHEW HOLT Our 20th birthday continues with a few classics coming out. Back in 2005 I was really cutting a lyrical rug, and would never miss a chance to get that Cambridge training in Marxism into use. This essay about whether health care should be a public or private good has always been one of my favorites, even if I’m not sure Starbucks is still making Frappuccinos. And 18 years later the basic point of this essay remains true, even if many of you will not have a clue who Vioxx or Haliburton were or why they mattered back then! Those of you who think I’m an unreconstructed commie will correctly suspec...

In conclusion, here, we demonstrate a novel mechanism for ESC-EVs to protect cells from senescence. However, whether ESC-EVs rejuvenate aged mice via miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p remains unknown. Next, we plan to use miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p antagonists while treating aged mice with ESC-EVs to further investigate the mechanism by which ESC-EVs resist aging in vivo. « Back to Top Fatty Acid Metabolism as a Commonality in Different Approaches to Slowing Aging https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/08/fatty-acid-metabolism-as-a-commonality-in-different-approaches-to-slowing-aging/ It seems...

Rutin Suppresses the SASP of Senescent Cells
Senescent cells accumulate with age and cause harm via a sustained, energetic production of signal molecules, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), that disrupts tissue structure and function. In addition to the search for senolytic drugs that can selectively destroy senescent cells by pushing them into programmed cell death, researchers are also looking for senomorphic drugs that can suppress some or most of the SASP by interfering in its regulatory mechanisms. This seems to me a poor alternative to clearance of senescent cells, as a senomorphic drug must be taken continually, but nonetheless a great many ...

In this study, we examined the average telomere length and telomerase activity, as well as the formation of telomere associated foci (TAFs) and the mRNA expression levels of the shelterin components in cultured primary cells of Spalax, a long-lived, hypoxia-tolerant, and cancer-resistant blind mole-rat species. We showed that with cell passages, Spalax fibroblasts demonstrated significant shortening in telomere length, similar to rat cells, and in line with the processes observed earlier in tissues. We also demonstrated that the average telomere length in Spalax fibroblasts was significantly higher than the average ...

The deadly consequences of a shortage: The Pluvicto crisis leaves metastatic prostate cancer patients in limbo
You’ve recently been diagnosed with metastatic cancer. You started the recommended first-line therapy, but it isn’t cutting it. There is another available treatment, but your hopes are crushed upon learning that you will have to wait at least three months before the life-extending medication can be produced for you and reach your location. All the Read more… The deadly consequences of a shortage: The Pluvicto crisis leaves metastatic prostate cancer patients in limbo originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Measures of Biological Age Largely Correlate with Cancer Risk
Cancer is an age-related condition. With age, there is a greater background of mutational damage that spreads throughout tissues. Greater inflammatory, pro-growth signaling by lingering senescent cells makes the environment more hospitable for cancerous growth once it is underway. The aging immune system becomes ever less able to destroy precancerous and cancerous cells rapidly enough to stop a cancer in its earliest stages. Thus we should expect people who show an accelerated biological age to exhibit a greater risk of cancer, and this is largely the case. Most measures of biological age have quirks, however, as th...

Breakthrough trial shows MRI-guided radiation can reduce prostate cancer treatment toxicity
Nearly 290,000 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2023. Thankfully, the vast majority will be diagnosed with clinically localized disease and can be cured with either surgery or radiotherapy. Emerging clinical trial data have cemented stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), a form of radiation in which ≤5 daily doses are delivered with high Read more… Breakthrough trial shows MRI-guided radiation can reduce prostate cancer treatment toxicity originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 13th 2023
This study investigated whether taller Polish adults live longer than their shorter counterparts. Data on declared height were available from 848,860 individuals who died in the years 2004-2008 in Poland. To allow for the cohort effect, the Z-values were generated. Separately for both sexes, Pearson's r coefficients of correlation were calculated. Subsequently, one way ANOVA was performed. The correlation between adult height and longevity was negative and statistically significant in both men and women. After eliminating the effects of secular trends in height, the correlation was very weak (r = -0.0044 in men and ...

Aging as a Disease: a Zoo Contains Animals, But is Not Itself an Animal
The author of today's open access commentary is quite prolifically opinionated on the topic of mTOR and its status as a central pillar of programmed aging, particularly the hyperfunction version of programmed aging theories. Nonetheless, he sometimes has interesting things to say, as is the case here on the topic of whether aging is a disease. A great deal of ink has been spilled of late on the question of whether or not aging is a disease. This is the case not because everyone suddenly developed an interest in semantics, but rather because it directly affects the regulation of medical development, and thus the flow of fun...
