Mitochondrial Epigenetics in Age-Related Mitochondrial Dysfunction
The hundreds of mitochondria present in every cell in the body undertake the essential duty of producing chemical energy store molecules, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used to power the cell. With age, mitochondria become less efficient and more damaged, generating oxidative stress and triggering inflammation while producing less ATP than is optimal. This is thought to be a major contribution to degenerative aging, though as for all contributions to aging, it requires a highly targeted way to improve mitochondrial function in order to determine just how important it is. That highly targeted therapy doesn't yet exist in a u...

Enhancing Healthcare Through Industry-Specific Large Language Models
The following is a guest article by Tisson Mathew, Founder and CEO at SkyPoint AI Why Large Language Models Trained on Industry Context are Essential for Effective Generative AI in the Healthcare Space Ask ChatGPT an important but complicated healthcare-related question, and you might very well get a wrong—and potentially dangerous—answer. Navigating the complexities of medical data, regulations, and patient care can place demands on generative AI technologies that can’t be fulfilled. But there is a way to take full advantage of the power of GenAI — with industry-specific LLMs that are securely supplied wit...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, September 11th 2023
This article reviews the current regulatory role of miR-7 in inflammation and related diseases, including viral infection, autoimmune hepatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and encephalitis. It expounds on the molecular mechanism by which miR-7 regulates the occurrence of inflammatory diseases. Finally, the existing problems and future development directions of miR-7-based intervention on inflammation and related diseases are discussed to provide new references and help strengthen the understanding of the pathogenesis of inflammation and related diseases, as well as the development of new strategies for clinical interventi...

Towards Engraftment of New Stem Cells into Damaged Lungs
Perhaps the most important challenge in the field of regenerative medicine is to enable engraftment and survival of transplanted cells, allowing new cell populations to replace those made damaged or dysfunctional due to age, injury, or other causes. Despite some advances, survival of transplanted cells remains a significant challenge. Here is one example of signs of progress on this front, however. Judging by the recent past, solutions discovered by researchers are likely to continue to be tissue specific. This implies that a great deal more work lies ahead in order to build a usefully broad toolkit to allow creation and t...

Why It Is Important To Understand Multimodal Large Language Models In Healthcare  
The future of medicine is undoubtedly inextricably linked to the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Although this revolution has been brewing for years, the past few months marked a major change, as algorithms finally moved out of the specialized labs and into our daily lives.  The public debut of Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT which became the fastest-growing consumer application of all time, has been a roaring success. LLMs are machine learning models trained on a vast amount of text data which enables them to understand and generate human-like text based on the patterns and structures they̵...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 21st 2023
This study aimed to investigate the association between frailty index and circulating CAP2 concentration in 467 community-dwelling older adults (median age: 79; range: 65-92 years). The selected robust regression model showed that circulating CAP2 concentration was not associated with chronological age, as well as sex and education. However, circulating CAP2 concentration was significantly and inversely associated with the frailty index: a 0.1-unit increase in frailty index leads to ~0.5-point mean decrease in CAP2 concentration. Furthermore, mean CAP2 concentration was significantly lower in frail participants (i.e., fr...

Weekly Roundup – August 19, 2023
Welcome to our Healthcare IT Today Weekly Roundup. Each week, we’ll be providing a look back at the articles we posted and why they’re important to the healthcare IT community. We hope this gives you a chance to catch up on anything you may have missed during the week. Helping Children With Gamified Interactive Physiotherapy. Psychiatrist Dr. Geoff Frost struggled to encourage pediatric patients with spinal muscular atrophy to do their necessary exercises. As he explained to Colin Hung, that’s why Raft Digital Therapeutics created a game called Cloud Bazaar to captures a child’s movement as a way to advance...

This study demonstrates just how vital the thymus is to maintaining adult health." « Back to Top Does Amyloid-β Aggregation Cause Broad Disruption of Proteostasis? https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/08/does-amyloid-%ce%b2-aggregation-cause-broad-disruption-of-proteostasis/ Researchers here speculate on the ability of insoluble amyloid-β aggregates to be broadly disruptive of the solubility of many other proteins, and thus disruptive to cell and tissue function. Is this important in aging? The evidence here shows the existence of the mechanism in a lower species, but that doesn't n...

In conclusion, here, we demonstrate a novel mechanism for ESC-EVs to protect cells from senescence. However, whether ESC-EVs rejuvenate aged mice via miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p remains unknown. Next, we plan to use miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p antagonists while treating aged mice with ESC-EVs to further investigate the mechanism by which ESC-EVs resist aging in vivo. « Back to Top Fatty Acid Metabolism as a Commonality in Different Approaches to Slowing Aging https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/08/fatty-acid-metabolism-as-a-commonality-in-different-approaches-to-slowing-aging/ It seems...

Extracellular Vesicles from Young Cardiac Progenitor Cells Produce Benefits in Old Mice
The signaling environment in the body is generated by cells, communication mediated by the molecules that cells release and take up, many of which are packaged into extracellular vesicles. This signaling changes profoundly between development and adult life, and then again in important ways with advancing age. In principle, providing aged tissues with the signals passed back and forth during embryonic development will spur greater maintenance and regeneration. In practice, tissues are systems of great and only partially understood complexity, and attempts to beneficially manipulate signaling in this way are still very much...

OMI Pocket Guide
  📕OMI Pocket Guide TheOMI Pocket Guide (https://omiguide.org) is a user-friendly online resource designed to help healthcare professionals learn how to recognize subtle signs of acute coronary occlusion on the ECG which represent occlusion myocardial infarctions (OMI). Learning to recognize OMIs is an important clinical skill because it helps identify the subpopulation of " NSTEMIs " who are likely to be found with total thrombotic occlusion at the time of cardiac catherization.Although there are more criteria to consider when looking for OMIs compared to STEMIs, anyone can learn them, and this guid...
