Gun crisis in America: Youth fatalities on the rise
In 2020, firearm fatalities displaced motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of death of U.S. youth (ages 1 to 19). We long ago dramatically reduced infectious deaths (though vaccine hesitancy threatens to upend this victory), and the “big five” have been auto accidents, firearms, cancer, suffocation, and drug overdose – accidental in the youngest Read more… Gun crisis in America: Youth fatalities on the rise originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Cervical health awareness month: Unveiling inequities in cervical cancer outcomes
According to the World Health Organization, cervical cancer is among the most preventable and treatable gynecological cancers. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and longitudinal screening are highly effective modes of prevention and detection, respectively. While statistics on the efficacy of vaccination and screening are promising, the realities surrounding cervical cancer outcomes are anything but. A closer Read more… Cervical health awareness month: Unveiling inequities in cervical cancer outcomes originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Conclusions Implanted Hair Follicle Cells Produce Remodeling of Scar Tissue Assessment of Somatic Mosaicism as a Biomarker of Aging The Gut Microbiome of Centenarians https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/01/the-gut-microbiome-of-centenarians/ The state of the gut microbiome is arguably as influential on health as exercise. Various microbial species present in the gut produce beneficial metabolites, such as butyrate, or harmful metabolites, such as isoamylamine, or can provoke chronic inflammation in a variety of ways. An individual can have a better or worse microbiome, assessing these and other fu...

Using Engineered Cancer Cells to Rouse an Immune Response Against Tumors
Researchers here report on an interesting approach to encouraging the immune system to attack cancer cells in an established tumor. They engineer cancer cells to be more visible to the immune system and then return them to the body, where they will naturally home to the site of the tumor. At present the proof of concept is established in animal models; time will tell as to whether this line of work attracts the support needed to progress further towards the clinic. Cancer vaccines are an active area of research for many labs, but the new approach to treating the brain cancer glioblastoma that researchers have take...

More Popular Science Commentary on the Longevity Industry
It is interesting to see the present state of popular science commentary on efforts to treat aging as a medical condition, given the recollection of widespread skepticism and mockery even as recently as a decade ago. The large-scale funding, many serious research programs, and dozens of new biotech companies are ensuring that the popular science press at least does its homework on the science underlying the prospects for human rejuvenation before committing an opinion to paper. Today's bootstrapping era of progress is very different from the turn of the century, a great deal more is being accomplished, but these are still ...

Anyway, it ' sa discussion in NEJM of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. The USPSTF is a panel of clinical experts convened by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, AHRQ, which is usually pronounced like ark. It draws on available research to evaluate screening tests and preventive interventions. An A or B grade means they recommend it. A C grade means it might be worthwhile for some people, but you should discuss it with your doctor and ma...

Clearing Senescent Cells as a Way to Reduce Cancer Risk Resulting from Persistent Viral Infection
Persistent viral infection, such as by HPV, can result in cancer. Researchers here suggest that senolytic therapies to clear senescent cells can reduce that risk by removing some fraction of the cells most impacted by persistent infection. Senescent cells accumulate with age, but it is becoming clear that they are problematic in many other contexts as well. The ability to remove excess senescent cells with a single treatment via any one of the senolytic therapies under development is a powerful form of intervention that may have many applications beyond the rejuvenation of old tissues. Senescence represents a uniq...

In conclusion, circulating monocytes in older adults exhibit increased expression of activation, adhesion, and migration markers, but decreased expression of co-inhibitory molecules. MERTK Inhibition Increases Bone Density via Increased Osteoblast Activity https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/12/mertk-inhibition-increases-bone-density-via-increased-osteoblast-activity/ Bone density results from the balance of constant activity on the part of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the former building bone, the latter breaking it down. With advancing age, the balance of activity shifts to favor osteoclasts, prod...

A Look Back at 2022: Progress Towards the Treatment of Aging as a Medical Condition
At the end of 2022, we can reflect on the fact that we are steadily entering a new era of medicine, one in which mechanisms of aging are targeted rather than ignored. It is a profound change, one that will change the shape of a human life and ultimately the human condition by eliminating the greatest sources of suffering and death in the world. Year after year, we see increased funding, ongoing progress towards therapies capable of slowing aging or reversing aspects of aging, and a growing taxonomy of such potential therapies and their target mechanisms. The view of aging in the medical community and public at large...

The Top 10 Digital Health Stories Of 2022
Edging towards the end of the year, it is time for a summary of how digital health progressed in 2022. It is easy to get lost in the noise – I myself shared well over a thousand articles, studies and news items between January and the end of November 2022. Thus, just like in 2021, 2020 (and so on), I picked the 10 topics I believe will have the most significance in the future of healthcare. 1. The Rise Of Digital Therapeutics (DTx) Unlike a number of unsubstantial hypes (NFTs, Metaverse to name a few), we see DTx as a meaningful trend that has the capacity to bring major short-term improvements in personalised ...

This study explored whether determining the gain or loss of specific taxa represent a more precise metric of healthy/unhealthy aging than summary microbiome statistics, such as diversity and uniqueness. We analyzed microbiome diversity and four measures of microbiome uniqueness in 21,000 gut microbiomes for their relationship with aging and health. We show that diversity and uniqueness measures are not synonymous; uniqueness is not a uniformly desirable feature of the aging microbiome, nor is it an accurate biomarker of healthy aging. Different measures of uniqueness show different associations with diversity and with mark...

In this study, we show that TXNIP is vital for the cell fate choice when cells are challenged by various stress signals. Furthermore, prolonged IGF1 treatment leads to the establishment of a premature senescence phenotype characterized by a unique senescence network signature. Combined IGF1/TXNIP-induced premature senescence can be associated with a typical secretory inflammatory phenotype that is mediated by STAT3/IL-1A signaling. Finally, these mechanistic insights might help with the understanding of basic aspects of IGF1-related pathologies in the clinical setting. Investigating the Ability of Type 2 Diabetes...
