Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 24th 2017
This study identified 1,497 genes with significantly different expression at different ages. Gene sets with a defined age-associated expression pattern provide information about molecular processes with altered activity during aging and provide a valuable diagnostic tool for determining individual biological rate of aging and predicting risk of age-associated disease, as demonstrated in follow-up analyses. On a gene-by-gene basis, differential expression alone is insufficient to distinguish between genes that play a causative role in aging and genes that merely respond to the altered physiological environment in an aging o...

HGFA Signaling Enhances the Stem Cell Response to Injury
We described this regulation as a transitioning of stem cells from the G0 to the GAlert state of quiescence, where GAlert stem cells are poised to activate quickly in response to injury and to repair tissue damage more effectively. Because of the enhanced functional properties of GAlert stem cells, there may be clinical applications for factors that induce the GAlert state. However, the endogenous signals that stimulate the G0-to-GAlert transition of stem cells in response to distant injuries have not been previously described. Here, we show that a single systemic factor, hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA), is suffi...

Taking on Women ’s Heart Health the Old-Fashioned Way
This editorial was originally published by Morning Consult on 4/14. Heart disease claims the lives of more women than any other illness — more than all types of cancer combined — so let’s set straight the myth that heart disease is a man’s disease. While an estimated 80 percent of heart disease is preventable, cardiovascular disease among women remains an invisible disease in the national conversation. It’s time we focus more attention on the unacceptable number of mothers, daughters and sisters we have lost, and spread awareness of this silent killer of women. Every 80 seconds a woman dies of heart disease; that...

Spreading Hope for Depression Through Adventure Racing
Depression is a common bond. It brings people to me that inspire me in ways I never thought possible. Shawn Beardon is one of those people. Shawn reached out to me via my foundation, iFred, and asked if we could work together raising awareness for mental health issues while making a dream of his come true. As iFred has big dreams of teaching hope around the world, it seemed like a perfect partnership. What he is about to attempt is mind blowing, as those with depression know during our darkest days, what he is trying to accomplish is probably the last thing we would ever imagine doing. If you know of any major brand sponso...

A Set of Recent Papers on Aspects of Cellular Quality Control in Aging
Autophagy is a prominent topic in aging research. This is also the case for other forms of cellular maintenance processes, but autophagy is by far the most studied and understood at this time. Here when I say autophagy I mean macroautophagy. There other other, less well cataloged forms, but it is usually the case that when someone refers to autophagy without qualification, then they are talking about macroautophagy. In this type of autophagy, damaged molecules and cell structures are isolated inside a specially constructed membrane, and that then fuses with one of the cellular recycling system known as lysosomes. A lysosom...

Precision Medicine Is Our Best Hope In The Fight Against Cancer
In the fight against cancer, precision medicine is one of the most promising tools and the logical outcome of current healthcare trends. As start-ups offering personalized healthcare solutions multiply like mushrooms after rain, governments and regulatory agencies have to give appropriate responses in regulating the grass-root healthcare jungle. Here is my analysis about the potential and dilemmas about precision medicine. Precision medicine is the logical outcome of modern healthcare There is one phrase, which is not part of the Hippocratic Oath, but everyone in medicine knows it. Primum non nocere, meaning “first do n...

Calico Partners to Obtain Protein Degradation Technology
For those who like reading the Calico tea leaves, here are a few details on one of their recent partnerships. Calico, the California Life Company, is the aging research venture funded by Google. It launched a few years back, but so far those involved appear to be doing nothing particularly radical, insofar as we know anything about what is going on there. Calico is certainly not supporting the SENS view of damage repair as the best way to treat aging, and may well be turn out to be simply a larger and more secretive version of the Ellison Medical Foundation in the end: an expansion of the largely investigative work already...

After the American Health Care Act
BY JOHN IRVINE We asked THCB’s editors and bloggers for their reactions to Friday’s news. Here are their reactions. DANIEL STONE, MD The late UCLA Professor Richard Brown, once commented that the Clinton healthcare initiative failed because the status quo was everyone’s second choice. Some of that logic applies to today’s failure to vote on the AHCA. Additionally, no one ever lost money betting against the rollback of an established entitlement program. The Republicans opponents of the ACA have not yet faced the fact that the reason coverage is so expensive is because the care is so expensive. You can’t ...

Ronald DePinho Resigns as President of the MD Anderson Cancer Center
In a recent blog note, I discussed the abandonment of the Watson project at MD Anderson Cancer Center (see:Scandal at M.D. Anderson -- Operating Loss and Then Watson Deep-Sixed). Perhaps not too surprising now is that the president of this leading cancer hospital, Ronald DePinho, has recently resigned (see:Ronald DePinho, embattled chief of MD Anderson Cancer Center, resigns). Below is an excerpt from the article:Dr. Ronald DePinho... resigned as president ofMD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the nation ’s most prestigious hospitals, after a tumultuous tenure marked by financial problems, a large layoff,...

Whose Costs? Who Benefits? - A Close Reading of a Hospital System CEO ' s Prescription for Controlling Health Care Costs
The attempt to " repeal and replace " the Affordable Care Act has suddenly made health care dysfunction a hot topic in the US. For example, today, in my local paper, the Providence Journal, Dr Timothy J Bainbeau, the CEO of the Lifespan Health System,  the biggest regional health systemweighed in on the problem of high and increasing health care costs.  A close reading of his commentary suggests how the leadership of big US health care organizations needs to think about whether their actions have become more of the problem than a source of solutions.The CEO ' s Diagnosis and Prescription Dr Babineau beg...

The American Health Care Act And Medicaid: Changing A Half-Century Federal-State Partnership
Based on page length alone, it is evident that Medicaid is a focal point of the American Health Care Act, released on March 6. Although its fate is uncertain, the bill provides a clear sense of where the Affordable Care Act repeal and replace strategy is heading. Where Medicaid is concerned, what has been discussed for years has now become real: using ACA repeal/replace as the vehicle for a wholesale restructuring of the very financial foundation of the Medicaid program as it has existed over an unparalleled, half-century federal/state partnership. As expected, the House bill essentially eliminates the enhanced funding lev...

Bringing on-demand rideshare to medical transport. Interview with Veyo ’ s CEO
  Uber and Lyft have transformed (and largely destroyed) the taxi industry. Now startup companies like Veyo are applying similar approaches to the medical transportation field. I interviewed Veyo’s CEO, Josh Komenda to get his take. 1.How is non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) defined? What’s included? How big is it? Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is a transportation benefit for Medicaid or Medicare members who need to get to and from medical services, but have no means of transportation. NEMT provides eligible patients with trips that are non-emergency in nature, meaning there is no i...
