Fight Aging! Newsletter, October 10th 2016
This study quantifies some of the differences between genetic loss of myostatin and antibody therapy for suppression of myostatin. As might be expected the results are similar in character but quite different at the detailed level, showing that genetic engineering for lifelong loss of myostatin produces superior results to an adult therapy. A further comparison with gene therapy carried out in adults remains to be conducted, but the outcomes will probably fall somewhere in the middle between these two examples. Pharmacologic blockade of the myostatin (Mstn)/activin receptor pathway is being pursued as a potential ...

An Example of the Glaring Lack of Ambition in Aging Research
This article is an example of the problem, in which an eminent researcher in the field takes a look at a few recently published books on aging research, and along the way reveals much about his own views on aging as an aspect of the human condition that needs little in the way of a solution. It is a terrible thing that people of this ilk are running the institutes and the funding bodies: this is a field crying out for disruption and revolution in the name of faster progress towards an end to aging. How can we overcome our niggling suspicion that there is something dubious, if not outright wrong, about wanting to l...

Book Review: Understanding Mental Illness
As a licensed marriage and family therapist and mental health writer, I am always interested in new books about mental health and the way we treat those with mental illnesses, so it was with interest that I picked up Marianne Richards’s self-published new book, Understanding Mental Illness: Comprehensive and Jargon Free 6th Edition. While Richards does give a comprehensive overview of the history of mental illness, the ways in which we as a society often treat it, and the defining characteristics of the most common diagnoses, I was left wondering just how this information might apply to someone who suffers from a men...
