Fight Aging! Newsletter, November 20th 2023
In this study, we attempted to further explain the role, exact mechanism and target of ICA in treating AD from the ferroptosis perspective. We found that ICA could improve the neurobehavioral, memory, and motor abilities of AD mice. It could lower the ferroptosis level and enhance the resistance to oxidative stress. After inhibition of MDM2, ICA could no longer improve the cognitive ability of AD mice, nor could it further inhibit ferroptosis. Network pharmacological analysis revealed that MDM2 might be the target of ICA action.

Patient Engagement through Communication Platforms
With the increase in digital health, remote care, and patient access, the need for a reliable platform to conduct everything has also increased. But while we all need reliable communication platforms, properly utilizing them is an entirely different story. There is already so much to consider in terms of what works best for your organization, but then you need to rethink everything in terms of what is best for the patient. You might be reassured that it is safe and easy to use on the administrator end, but is it that way on the user end for the patients?
For some insights on patient engagement in communication platforms we...

Glutathione is an interesting cellular antioxidant, as increased levels can improve health in humans and slow aging in animal models. You might recall recent small human trials of high dose supplementation of glutathione precursors in order to achieve upregulation of glutathione, and corresponding studies in mice. It is thought that glutathione upregulation may largely improve health via mitochondrial function, as mitochondria are a prominent source of oxidative stress in aging cells. Here, researchers find a mechanism that regulates the amount of glutathione that enters the mitochondria, and thus a possible target to incr...

Considering the Non-Genomic Hallmarks of Aging
The Hallmarks of Aging were first published some years ago now, long enough to be expanded upon and much debated. The hallmarks are a list of characteristic changes in cell and tissue biochemistry noted to take place with advancing age, some of which are likely causes of age-related degeneration, some of which are likely downstream consequences, and all of which interact with one another. As often happens in such matters, the original hallmarks of aging drew from, and then eclipsed in terms of attention, the much earlier Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) list of forms of cell and tissue damage that are...

This study investigated the correlation among muscle strength, working memory (WM), and cortical hemodynamics during the N-back task of memory performance, and further explored whether cortical hemodynamics during N-back task mediated the relationship between muscle strength and WM performance. We observed that muscle strength (particularly grip strength) predicted WM of older adults in this cross-sectional study, which validated our hypothesis and expanded on previous research findings. Studies demonstrated that grip strength predicted executive function decline in patients with mild cognitive impairment. Other cross-sect...

Medicare coverage saves lives. Enrolling shouldn ’ t be this complicated.
I never imagined I’d be crying on vacation in Hawaii, but there I was, overwhelmed with worry because my 71-year-old mother’s Medicare Part B enrollment had been denied. A naturalized U.S. citizen, my mom had been living overseas with a rare blood cancer for 20 years. By December 2021, her end-stage disease required bi-weekly blood transfusions;

The Immune System Mediates Some of the Benefits of Exercise
It is uncontroversial to point out that exercise is good for long-term health. It slows aging, reduces risk of age-related disease, reduces mortality. A mountain of evidence supports these assertions, both animal studies demonstrating causation, and any number of large human studies showing correlation. Exercise, like the practice of calorie restriction, produces sweeping changes in the operation of metabolism. Near everything is different, both in the short term following exercise, and over the long term when looking at differences between the biochemistry of a fit individual versus that a sedentary individual. This can m...

Mitochondrial Dysfunction is a Contributing Cause of T Cell Exhaustion
T cell exhaustion occurs in aging, but also in circumstances in which the adaptive immune system is constantly stimulated over time, such as in cases of persistent HIV infection, or the presence of solid tumors. An exhausted T cell has adopted a state in which it is functionally incapable, no longer responsive to antigens. Ways to reverse T cell exhaustion would be very beneficial, and so the research community has made some inroads in understanding the mechanisms of exhaustion, enough to produce proof of concept approaches, such as those involving epigenetic reprogramming, BAFT upregulation, TIGIT knockdown, and various s...

GTP Level Influences DNA Repair
Evidence suggests that enhanced DNA repair may act to slow the progression of aging. Researchers here note that increased levels of the metabolite guanosine triphosphate (GTP), a building block and energy source used in a variety of ways in the cell, can improve the pace of DNA repair. There are numerous ways by which GTP levels might be upregulated over the long term, but as researchers here note, the opposite is desirable in the case of cancer, in order to impair DNA repair and make cancerous cells more vulnerable to genotoxic therapies.
Researchers have long known that levels of nucleotides like GTP control how...
