Edward Stopa, long-time neuropathologist at Brown University, passes away
Edward Stopa, MD,65, after a brief and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He touched many lives and served as mentor to many in neuropathology, including me. Since 1993, Ed was the director of neuropathology at Brown and led the division until his retirement earlier this year. I was a neuropathology fellow under his directorship from 2004-06 and fondly remember his sense of humor, curiosity, andjoie de vivre.Ed made many strides in the understanding of Alzheimer disease through close collaborations with basic and clinical neuroscientists. He contributed extensively to our knowledge of the hypothalamic mechanisms tha...

Mass Shootings & Mental Illness: Sloppy Reporting Paints False Connection
There’s an unfortunate confusion that exists when talking about mass shootings in America. This confusion is reinforced by politicians and the media, each pushing their own agendas and biases.
Some have erroneously claimed it’s a mental illness issue. I’m not being pedantic when I say we should not confuse mental illness with other, related concerns, such as psychological distress. The two are very different things. A person can be under psychological distress and still not have a mental illness.
Here’s why the distinction is important and why sloppy reporting by both journalists and law enforcement...

Support for LIfT Biosciences to Develop the LIFT Approach to a Universal Cancer Therapy
It is good to see that more of the promising technical approaches to aspects of aging, originally put forward by people in the SENS rejuvenation research network some years ago, are now making solid progress towards commercial implementation. The LIFT, or GIFT, approach to cancer therapy involves the transplantation of suitably aggressive leukocyte or granulocyte immune cells from a donor. At the time it was first demonstrated to be highly effective in mice, more than a decade ago, the underlying mechanisms were not well explored, and that always makes it hard to obtain further support from scientific funding institutions....

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 15th 2019
In conclusion, we show here that sEVs are responsible for mediating paracrine senescence and speculate that they could be involved in inducing bystander senescence during therapy-induced senescence or aging. In fact, when compared to soluble factors, sEVs have different biophysical and biochemical properties as they have a longer lifespan than do soluble factors and they are more resistant to protease degradation. The idea that blocking sEV secretion could be a potential therapeutic approach to alleviate senescence "spreading" during chemotherapy-induced senescence or in aging tissues presents itself as a very attractive t...

How is Alex Trebek doing with his pancreatic cancer treatment?
In a recent People article, Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek shared some good news. Diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in March, Trebek said he was told that he has been responding very well to his chemotherapy regimen, and that he’s in“near remission.” He went on to say,“It’s kind of mind-boggling.… The doctors said they hadn’t seen this […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Is sugar causing you to AGE faster?
Americans consume the equivalent of 300 loaves of bread each year (representing enormous exposure to the amylopectin A carbohydrate that behaves like sugar or worse). They also consume 200 pounds of sugar. It is not uncommon for sugar alone to comprise a quarter of all calories taken in over the course of the day—some of it out in the open, some of it hidden.
To understand the adverse effects of sugars—sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, and other fructose-rich sweeteners, such as agave, honey, and maple syrup—we need to understand two phenomena:
1. Insulin resistance
2 Glycation.
Insulin Resistance

Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 17th 2019
In this study, analysis of antioxidant defense was performed on the blood samples from 184 "aged" individuals aged 65-90+ years, and compared to the blood samples of 37 individuals just about at the beginning of aging, aged 55-59 years. Statistically significant decreases of Zn,Cu-superoxide dismutase (SOD-1), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were observed in elderly people in comparison with the control group. Moreover, an inverse correlation between the activities of SOD-1, CAT, and GSH-Px and the age of the examined persons was found. No age-related changes in glutathione reductase activiti...
