“ Low quality ” Interventions in “ high quality ” cath labs
Recently, I visited a seven-star cardiology center. It had a fascinating lab with a near-360-degree roaming arm and floor (even the roof, I think!). The lab also had provision for optional thoracotomy support by surgeons and a CT scan. What’s more, I was told that an adorable robot will soon be added to the cath lab workforce to assist in delivering and maneuvering catheters. It’s truly amazing to see the advancements in science!
I asked the chief staff nurse how many procedures are being performed per day. She pulled out an Excel chart from a gesture-controlled touch panel. It was clocking about 20 to 25 ca...

Funding for the Longevity Industry Continues, Even in a Poor Market
Setting aside the movements of the broader market from year to year, and noting that this past year has been a poor time for venture funding, we should expect the funding available for biotech companies in the longevity industry to continue to increase in the years ahead. The fundamental reasons for this trend appear at the end of this article: the science looks very promising, there are many good projects sitting on the sidelines waiting for a champion to take them forward, and the upside for investors seems high. A therapy that targets one or more underlying mechanisms of aging will likely be applicable to a long list of...

Age-Related DNA Damage and Epigenetic Changes
This review paper covers both genetic and epigenetic changes that occur with age, taking a broad look at everything from telomere length to stochastic mutational damage to alterations in chromatin structure. As for all aspects of aging at the level of cellular biochemistry, it is easier to catalog than it is to determine relationships between these items, or to determine whether one characteristic of aging cellular biochemistry is more or less important than another when it comes to age-related disease and loss of function. Greater funding for the field would allow researchers to take the best of brute force approaches, wh...
