The Adaptation-Maladaptation Framework of Aging
While a great deal is known about the ways in which old tissues differ from young tissues, there remains considerable room to theorize on how exactly aging is caused and progresses. Which manifestations are causative, and which downstream consequences, which mechanisms are important, which are side-effects or diversions. Theories of aging abound, alongside frameworks intended to steer thinking about aging. We stand in the opening years of a new era of medicine, in which the first rejuvenation therapies exist or are under development, senolytics that can clear senescent cells, alongside reprogramming strategies and potentia...

AI is living up to its promise as a tool for radiology
For the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been proving itself as an effective tool in breast cancer screening. An ever-growing list of research studies has shown that using AI in mammography can safely and efficiently reduce patient wait times while reducing the pressure on in-demand radiologists. This is significant, as early detection greatly Read more… AI is living up to its promise as a tool for radiology originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

The Lack of Consensus on Approaches to Aging as a Flaw to be Fixed
It can be argued that the largest challenge facing the development of means to treat aging as a medical condition is that there is, as of yet, no useful consensus position on how to measure aging, how to define aging, or which of the countless measurable aspects of biochemistry that change with age are the most appropriate targets for therapy. This means that any given research group or biotech startup has a lot of leeway to argue that their approach is the right one - and it might take twenty years to establish the effects of their therapies on long-term health and life span, even given a successful development program. T...

In Search of Immune System Differences in Long-Lived Mammals
What are the mechanisms that allow long-lived mammals to be long-lived? It remains to be seen as to whether it will be cost-effective and of sizable benefit to isolate specific genetic differences that can be used as a basis for therapies in humans, but it isn't a terrible idea to conduct the search. Clearly cancer suppression is an interesting topic, and one it might well be possible to build novel therapies based on the study of whales and elephants. Another good place to start is the operation of the immune system. The age-related decline of immune function is clearly important to the onset and progression of age-relate...

Diversified treatments are needed to fight the increasing threat of liver cancer
Since the mid-1970s, rates for liver cancer have been on the rise. A 2017 study found that liver cancer increased by 75 percent worldwide between 1990 and 2015, with the highest rate increases occurring in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Worldwide, hepatitis B—a virus that damages the liver and is spread through contact with infected Read more… Diversified treatments are needed to fight the increasing threat of liver cancer originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Q & A With Dylan Burnette: Muscle Cells, Cell Movement, and Microscopy
Courtesy of Dr. Dylan Burnette. “We scientists know very little of what can be known—I find that invigorating,” says Dylan Burnette, Ph.D., an associate professor of cell and developmental biology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee. “Most people find it exhausting, but I’m comfortable with not knowing all of biology’s secrets.” In an interview, Dr. Burnette shared his lab’s work on muscle cells, the knowledge he hopes readers take away from his research, and some advice to future scientists about being comfortable being wrong. Q: How did you first become interested in s...

A High Level Popular Science View of the Longevity Industry
The article I'll point out today is an entirely unremarkable, high level tour of the most discussed, most notable portions of the longevity industry and related research efforts. Twenty years ago, we'd all have been delighted to see the media both noticing translational aging research at all, and then actually taking seriously the prospect of treating aging as a medical condition. We've come a long way to now see summary discussions of work on the treatment of aging as business as usual, not really worth mentioning. Still, articles like this miss near all of the really interesting projects, and that is the way of high leve...
