Matthew ’s health care tidbits: Hedge Funds that Do Health Care on the Side
Each time I send out the THCB Reader, our newsletter that summarizes the best of THCB (Sign up here!) I include a brief tidbits section. Then I had the brainwave to add them to the blog. They’re short and usually not too sweet! –Matthew Holt Lots of news about bad behavior in health care this week, with real shots about patient & staff safety at home care company Papa, and Grail misinforming 400 people that they had cancer. But the prize for tone deafness this week comes from another very well funded health care provider system being heartless to its poorest patients.  This week it’s Allina, a Minn...

mRNA Vaccines: From Tackling Pandemic To Treating Cancer
The story of the multi-decade uphill battle Katalin Karikó and her fellow researchers fought to prove messenger RNA can viably be used in medicine is widely known today. In just as little as two years, the world has learned about mRNA technology and how fast it can react when the need arises holding almost unlimited promises in future applications. As always is the case with “instant hits” in science, the ride was actually very long and bumpy, but more on that later.  What is mRNA? In very simple terms: messenger ribonucleic acids (or mRNAs in short) are the body’s natural way to transport messages from o...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 28th 2022
In conclusion, we summarized here evidence for a novel therapeutic approach to exploit the incredible ability of mitochondria to engage multifaceted neuroprotective stress response triggered by partial complex I inhibition. This approach promises relief for multiple human conditions, and to promote healthy aging to delay the onset of neurogenerative diseases, AD in particular, where age is the greatest risk factor. There is a mounting body of evidence generated in model organisms and humans in support of the safety of chronic application of complex I inhibitors. However, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms i...

Heterochromatin Loss and Transposon Activity in the Aging Female Germline
In today's open access paper, researchers note that the characteristic loss of maintainance of heterochromatin structure that occurs with age appears sufficient to produce signatures of aging in female germline cells, oocytes, accompanied by a rising level of transposon activity. Along with thymic involution, loss of function in female germline cells is one of the more rapid aspects of aging. This is the subject of a range of research programs, investigating the causes, and potential means of addressing the issue, ranging from tissue engineered ovaries to the usual panoply of pharmacological approaches to slow the mechanis...
