Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 26th 2022
This article on senolytic therapies to selectively remove senescent cells in old tissues is in part a matter of Unity Biotechnology talking up their position. The company suffered from first mover disadvantage in bringing senolytic drugs into clinical development. The field has made progress very rapidly over the last decade, and startups founded even just a couple of years after Unity's launch benefited from greater knowledge and a selection of better technologies to work with. Still, one can be talking up one's position and also be right. The accumulation of senescent cells is profoundly harmful, a significant contributi...

On the Aging of the Kidneys
The longevity-associated gene klotho is known to act in kidney tissue, in ways that are protective of cell function in the aging environment of damage and inflammation. One of the conclusions that might be drawn from the extended life span produced by increased klotho expression in animal studies is that declining kidney function is an important aspect of aging. If the kidneys are not efficiently clearing waste from the bloodstream, and otherwise providing their contribution to bodily function, then all organs suffer as a result. Faster loss of kidney function means a faster decline into disease and mortality. The...

Correlations Between Gut Microbiome Composition and Longevity
A great deal of research is focused on cataloguing and correlating specific differences in the gut microbiome with aspects of aging. In years ahead, techniques will be developed to more precisely control the composition of the gut microbiome, removing issues such as too great a number of inflammatory microbes, or those producing harmful metabolites. At the moment, only more crude approaches such as fecal microbiota transplantation from a young donor are well developed. In principle it should be possible to take a probiotic approach and use oral administration to achieve a similar outcome, a rejuvenated gut microbiome, but ...

In conclusion, p16 deletion or p16 positive cell clearance could be a novel strategy preventing long term HFD-induced skin aging. Association of LDL-Cholesterol with Mortality https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/12/association-of-ldl-cholesterol-with-mortality/ Researchers here report on a study of LDL-cholesterol and mortality risk in older people. As they note, data on this topic is conflicted once one moves beyond the matter of cardiovascular disease. Over a lifetime, higher LDL-cholesterol makes it easier to reach the tipping point at which cholesterol deposited in blood vessel walls produces e...
