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.

The Slow Spread of Off-Label Use for Treatments Shown to Target Mechanisms of Aging
A small number of low-cost and generic drugs have extensive human use and safety data, but also a sizable, compelling body of animal study evidence to suggest a likely modest slowing of aging, e.g. rapamycin, or that demonstrates the ability to target a mechanism of aging to reverse age-related disease, e.g. the dasatinib and quercetin, shown to selectively destroy senescent cells. In the US any drug approved for a given use can also be used off-label to treat other conditions. In principle the drug can be prescribed by any physician in this way. This is legal, though tends to require a slow bootstrapping process of educat...

State of the lab 10 and 11 - the first years at ETH Zurich
Yet another lake by a mountain in SwitzerlandThis blog post is part of a(nearly) yearly series on running a research group in academia. This post summarizes years 10 and 11, the first 2 years after moving to ETH Zurich. It also marks the end of the first decade as a research group leader, which is meaningful only because we have ten fingers and use 10 as a base for counting but I digress. There has been a lot to adapt to in moving to a new country including all the basics of moving, re-building the group and starting teaching. It was a lot easier than the first time around since I didn ' t have to set up the group from zer...

Turnarounds are Talent Magnets: University of Chicago Medical Center
By JEFF GOLDSMITH
Like birds of a feather, talent in healthcare management often gathers in flocks. The University of Minnesota, University of Michigan and University of Iowa healthcare management programs are all justly famous for graduating, over many decades, an exceptional number of future transformative healthcare leaders. But sometimes, talent comes from the “street”- challenging healthcare turnarounds that attract risk-taking leaders who, in turn, gather young talent around them. The University of Chicago’s urban academic health center has been one of these places.
The U of C was (and remains) the la...

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...
