Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 9th 2018
In this study, senescent cell distribution and quantity in vastus lateralis muscle were examined in young human adults after a single bout of resistance exercise. To determine the effects of dietary protein availability around exercise on senescent cell quantity and macrophage infiltration of skeletal muscle, two isocaloric protein supplements (14% and 44% in calorie) were ingested before and immediately after an acute bout of resistance exercise, in a counter-balanced crossover fashion. An additional parallel trial was conducted to compare the outcome of muscle mass increment under the same dietary conditions after 12 wee...

In this study, we investigate mitochondrial energetics and mtDNA methylation in senescent cells, and evaluate the potential of humanin and MOTS-c as novel senolytics or SASP modulators that can alleviate symptoms of frailty and extend health span by targeting mitochondrial bioenergetics.

A Recent Profile of Unity Biotechnology and its Work on Senolytic Therapies
It was only partially in jest that I recently noted Unity Biotechnology as a financial institution with a sideline in rejuvenation research, specifically the targeted destruction of senescent cells. The principals have raised a truly enormous amount of funding in the past year and a half, and recently filed for IPO. They have not yet presented even preliminary human data. Typically the ordering of these matters tends to be at least a little different; there are some raised eyebrows in the community. But if the Unity Biotechnology founders can raise the funds and use them well to advance the state of the art, then more powe...

An Interview with Jim Mellon, and Update on Juvenescence
This interview with Jim Mellon opens with an update on some of the recent investment activities of Juvenescence, founded last year in order to participate in the enormous market opportunity afforded by the development of the first working rejuvenation therapies. It is in Mellon's self-interest to help educate the world about the size of this market, and draw in other, larger entities that will help to carry his portfolio companies to the finish line. So he is doing just that, and in doing so benefits us all. His advocacy will help all fronts in fundraising for research and development in this field.
That advocacy co...

This study indicates that frailty and other age-related diseases could be prevented and significantly reduced in older adults. Getting our heart risk factors under control could lead to much healthier old ages. Unfortunately, the current obesity epidemic is moving the older population in the wrong direction, however our study underlines how even small reductions in risk are worthwhile." The study analysed data from more than 421,000 people aged 60-69 in both GP medical records and in the UK Biobank research study. Participants were followed up over ten years.
The researchers analysed six factors that could impact on...

They also address misconceptions and ignorance about their diseases, such as the difference between AIDS and HIV or IBD and IBS, the fact that lupus is not contagious, and that men can have breast cancer.

With all the turmoil and craziness, too much is flying under the radar
I didn ' t even know thatit appears a truly horrible version of so-called " right to try " is about to become federal law. I have written about this before, but when legislation was only being passed at the state level it didn ' t really matter. The FDA still controls access to experimental drugs and state law can ' t preempt it, so state legislation was purely symbolic.The link is to an essay by the notoriously long-winded David Gorski. Do read it if you want all the details, but I ' ll try to give a succinct version.For background, the drug approval process has several stages. First, trials in animals have to show some e...

A Higher Impunity - How Can we Reduce Health Care Leadership's Impunity When the President Claims His Own Impunity?
Impunity: an IntroductionWe believe that unaccountable leadership is a major cause of health care dysfunction. Impunity is an extreme form of unaccountable leadership.We have noted that despite numerous legal settlements made by health care organizations of alllegations likefraud,bribery, andkickbacks, almost never do top leaders who presided over these actions face any negative consequences. Lack of deterrence caused by such impunity appears to be a major cause of the epidemic of continuing unethical behavior,crime andcorruption on the part of large health care organizations. How executives got to the poi...

Host a Career Day to Give Back and Cultivate Future CSD Pros
My parents showed me from a young age the positive results of giving back to your community. One way I recently followed their example was creating the Central High School Alumni Give-Back Service Project: Career Day & Scholarship Contest.
I attended Central High School (CHS) Magnet Career Academy in Louisville, Kentucky. At CHS I was in the Therapeutics Magnet program, where I learned about and decided to become a speech-language pathologist. Through the program, I volunteered in the speech pathology department at Louisville Frazier Rehabilitation Center. During this time, I met teachers, mentors and other professiona...
