Mitrix Bio Works on the Production of Mitochondria for Transplantation
One of the more practical near term approaches to address the age-related decline of mitochondrial function is transplantation of functional mitochondria. As an approach, it bypasses all of the remaining unknowns relating to the biochemistry of mitochondrial aging. Cells will take up whole mitochondria and make use of them, and early studies suggest that providing new mitochondria can improve tissue function when native mitochondria are impaired. It is likely that this improvement will last for only a limited time, as the same processes that degrade the function of mitochondria, such as a lack of effective mitophagy, will ...

Reviewing What is Known of the Longevity Gene INDY
INDY was one of the earlier longevity-related genes to be robustly identified, a discovery made 20 years ago now. Much of the exploratory work on INDY was carried out in flies, though more than enough time has now passed for mouse data to have also emerged. The authors of today's review paper characterize the benefits resulting from a reduced expression of INDY as a calorie restriction mimetic effect, more or less. That is a fair enough shorthand for any approach that improves cellular maintenance processes in a way that modestly slows the aging process, resisting the accumulation of damage, dysfunctional cells, and chroni...

Improving Transplant Survival with Organ Preservation Tech: Interview with Dr. Anderson, CEO of Paragonix
Paragonix Technologies, a medtech company based in Massachusetts, created the SherpaPak, an FDA organ transportation device that is intended to keep donor organs safe and viable on their journey to a transplant recipient. As the viability of a donor organ can mean life or death for the receiving patient, it makes sense to take exceptional care of it in transit.
The traditional method for organ transport is to simply pack it in ice in a beer cooler and hope for the best. This is arguably inadequate, as demonstrated by the recent GUARDIAN-Heart Registry multi-center study, which compared heart transplant recipients who re...
