In this study, we tested a stem cell secretome product, which contains extracellular vesicles and growth factors, cytoskeletal remodeling factors, and immunomodulatory factors. We examined the effects of 4 weeks of 2×/week unilateral intramuscular secretome injections (quadriceps) in ambulatory aged male C57BL/6 mice (22-24 months) compared to saline-injected aged-matched controls.
Secretome delivery substantially increased whole-body lean mass and decreased fat mass, corresponding to higher myofiber cross-sectional area and smaller adipocyte size, respectively. Secretome-treated mice also had greater whole-bod...

Lewy Body Disease May Be More Common than Thought
Access to human brain tissue for medical research is more limited than most people realize is the case, and, for obvious reasons, far too little of the available tissue data covers the early stages of disease. This limitation is one of the factors slowing the pace of research into age-related neurodegenerative conditions. Here, for example, researchers make use of an unusual resource to show that the prevalence of Lewy body disease may be greater than presently thought, with pathology beginning in the 50s, even if there are no outright symptoms of disease at that stage.
Lewy body disease is the second most common ...

In this study, researchers show that mice lacking a functional ATF4 gene show little to no loss of grip strength and treadmill performance into late life; it is quite an impressive effect size. Assessments of muscle biochemistry do show age-related declines, but to a lesser degree than the controls. How ATF4 knockout functions to produce this outcome is an interesting question. The researchers point out a range of possible downstream and upstream targets that have been implicated in the regulation of muscle growth, but it will clearly require further work to identify the important mechanisms involved.

There is Still Room to Improve Upon Epigenetic Clocks
Researchers here demonstrate that there is still room to improve the accuracy of epigenetic clocks based on patterns of DNA methylation. It could be argued that more effort should go towards generating a sufficient understanding of DNA methylation to allow the use of existing clocks to assess potential rejuvenation therapies, however. The long-term promise of epigenetic clocks is to provide a way to rapidly determine whether or not a given intervention is producing a meaningful reversal of aging, a replacement for time-consuming, expensive life span studies. Because researchers do not at present understand how underlying p...

Treasury Department Can ’t Help but Recognize DeFi Is Unique
Jack Solowey andJennifer J. SchulpYesterday, the Treasury Department released anIllicit Finance Risk Assessment of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). Looking past the report ’s, frankly half‐hearted, fear mongering and skepticism that disintermediated financial toolsdeserve different regulatory treatment than financial intermediaries, the report makes important acknowledgements that DeFi ’s illicit finance risk is relatively small and that DeFi technology is unique. The report’s sparks of recognition that, on some level,DeFi is different from traditional finance —in enabling peer‐to‐peer financial transac...
