Calico Extends a Sizable Partnership, Remains Otherwise Uncommunicative
Those of us who do not work at the California Life Company, Calico, have very little idea as to what it is the staff there are up to, at least when it comes to the details. The organization is very heavily funded by the overspill of resources from Alphabet, employs a great many scientists, and - so far as the world peering in from the outside can determine - is engaged in fundamental aging research with the goal of producing pharmaceutical treatments to intervene in the aging process at the end of the day. The little research they have made public is very distant from SENS and the idea of repairing damage, and looks more l...

Dander Still Up. Drowning in Great Dismal Swamp. Film at Eleven.
Maybe this is the last in my series of dander-raising essays, as recent national and world events have most definitely left so many of us with a raging case of TDS. (Trump Derangement Syndrome, look it up it ' s a thing).So many damned browser tabs open. So little time.Or maybe not. Who knows. Where are all these suicides coming from?My editor keeps telling me, " don ' t let it make you paralytic. " Hey, I ' m trying.Just sensing a kind of coalescence in all the corruption our bloggers keep writing about. How do we even differentiate these activities across so many sectors of society. We were going to see our swamp drained...

A Selection of Recent Research in the Alzheimer ' s Field
Today I'll point out a few recent examples of research into Alzheimer's disease; they are representative of present shifts in emphasis taking place in the field. There is a great deal of reexamination of existing mechanisms, alongside a search for new mechanisms. This is prompted by the continued failure to obtain meaningful progress towards patient improvement via clearance of amyloid, which some are interpreting as a need to look elsewhere for a viable basis for therapy. I believe it probably has more to do with the condition arising from multiple processes that have similarly sized contributions to cognitive decline: am...

Trump and Rx Drug Prices: Let the Games Begin
By STEVEN FINDLAY
President Trump is scheduled to deliver a major speech on drug prices today. This post is intended to start a dialogue on what he says and proposes.
It’s unclear whether Trump will provide specifics or whether those will be rolled out in coming weeks. As is always the case with Trump, there’s concern he’ll go off script despite apparent careful preparation of the speech.
The speech is reportedly going to coincide with an RFI from HHS on ways to restrain drug prices, building on ideas proposed in the administration’s fiscal 2019 budget request. That sounds like a delay tacti...

Uber Launches Uber Health; Responding to Needs of Clinical Trial Subjects
A recent article aboutUber Health addressed a number of the features that will be available with this transportation service.

Health Care ’s Pigs and Pokes
By ROBERT MCNUTT, MD & NORTIN HADLER, MD
Take the example of a middle-aged woman undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. Month after month she receives a bill for $16,000. This purchases a monthly infusion of one chemotherapeutic agent. Much of the bill is paid by her insurance, but her personal checking account will cough up about $1000 per month until she pays down her deductible.
The invoice, however, is an illusion. The amount is not the actual number of dollars required to pay for services and materials rendered. Most of the money is diverted in accordance with contractual agreements between the hospital and ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 19th 2018
In this study, we did not observe significant age-dependent upregulation of the prominent SASP cytokine Il6 in any tissue, although an upward trend was observed that was consistent in magnitude with previous observations in the heart and kidney. This modest age-related upward trend could be explained by a previous report which demonstrated that senescent cell-secreted IL-6 acts in an autocrine manner, reinforcing the senescent state, rather than inducing senescence or promoting dysfunction in neighboring cells.
The decreased expression of Il6 with age we observed in the hypothalamus could be indicative of a lack or ...

Undoing Aging: An Interview with Aubrey de Grey
The Undoing Aging conference in Berlin is presently underway, a gathering of everyone who is anyone in the rejuvenation research community. It is hosted jointly by the SENS Research Foundation and the Forever Healthy Foundation, and is a unification of the varied themes of the past fifteen years of SENS conferences: the science of aging and its treatment from the earlier SENS conference series mixed with the industry, startup, and commercial development focus of the Rejuvenation Biotechnology series of recent years.
The first rejuvenation therapies to be implemented and shown to work, those based on clearance of sen...

Are physicians ready for single-payer health care?
Single payer health care is enjoying a boomlet in public opinion.
A Pew Research Center poll released in June 2017 found that, “Overall, 33 percent of the public now favors such a ‘single payer’ approach to health insurance, up 5 percentage points since January and 12 points since 2014.” 58 percent of those surveyed by Pew said that the government has a responsibility to ensure health for all, with a third saying it should be through a single national government program and 25 percent through a mix of government and private programs. Another 33 percent said the government is not responsible to ensure health...
