Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 19th 2019
In conclusion, our data show how oncogenic and tumor-suppressive drivers of cellular senescence act to regulate surveillance processes that can be circumvented to enable SnCs to elude immune recognition but can be reversed by cell surface-targeted interventions to purge the SnCs that persist in vitro and in patients. Since eliminating SnCs can prevent tumor progression, delay the onset of degenerative diseases, and restore fitness; since NKG2D-Ls are not widely expressed in healthy human tissues and NKG2D-L shedding is an evasion mechanism also employed by tumor cells; and since increasing numbers of B cells express NKG2D ...

Jim Mellon Interviewed by Adam Ford at Undoing Aging 2019
Adam Ford of Science, Technology, and the Future carried out a number of interviews while at Undoing Aging in Berlin earlier this year. The interview materials are steadily being processed and uploaded, and that just recently included this interview with Jim Mellon, billionaire investor and philanthropist, cofounder of Juvenescence, and a very down to earth fellow who is interested in improving the human condition by targeting aging with new biotechnologies. Accordingly, he has used his resources to put himself into a position to talk up the longevity industry, move research forward, and attract a great deal more funding f...

On Casuistry, Guidelines and Performance Measures
Malcolm Gladwell’s wonderful podcast – Revisionist History – has just focused 3 episodes on the Jesuits and their use of casuistry. I was not familiar with the term, so here is one definition –
Casuistry is – a resolving of specific cases of conscience, duty, or conduct through interpretation of ethical principles or religious doctrine.
As I listened to these episodes, of course I pondered what this means for medicine. Perhaps I have massaged the idea beyond recognition, but the podcasts did stimulate these thoughts.
The intent of guidelines (at least I think) is to provide a genera...

Breath Analyzer for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a condition in which fluid leaks into the lungs and builds up in the alveoli within. It is a rapidly progressive condition that often leads to terminal consequences, yet it can be difficult to diagnose and monitor.
Now, researchers at University of Michigan have developed a portable device that analyzes a patient’s breath to provide quick and objective results that can help to manage the disease.
The gas chromatography system is about the size of a briefcase. It can perform its analysis from start to finish in about a half hour, providing results with about 90%...

Natural
Saltlampsare made up of pink crystalline salt naturally coming from the
Himalayan Mountains. Himalayan ranges are a true source of pink crystalline
salt with an orange hue touch naturally.
These
salt crystals are mined first then a hole is dug out to fit in a bulb.
Himalayan Illuminated salt devices are not only night bulbs in your room they

All-in-One Chip to Create New Drugs, Test Their Effectiveness
The development of new drugs is a long and tedious process. Chemists come up with new libraries of molecules which biologists test to see whether these generate some kind of cellular response. Promising agents become models for further chemical development, and the process continues repeatedly until promising candidates for animal trials are found.
Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have now developed a chip that allows scientists to perform chemical synthesis and immediately follow up by testing the resulting compounds on live cells. The technology is fast and can be automated. It also requ...

Misleading Project Veritas Accusations of Google " Bias " Could Prompt Bad Law
Tomorrow, the Senate ’s Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on The Constitution willhold a hearing on Google ’s alleged anti-conservative bias and “censorship.” Ina video released last month, James O ’Keefe, a conservative activist, interviews an unnamed Google insider. The film, which has been widely shared by conservative outlets and cited by Sen.Ted Cruz (R-TX) and PresidentDonald Trump, stitches a narrative of Orwellian, politically-motivated algorithmic bias out of contextless hidden camera footage, anodyne efforts to improve search results, and presumed links between unrelated products. Although the fil...

Into The Future of Gastroenterology With Digestibles And Microbiome Testing
Gluten? Lactose? Stomach pain? Digestive troubles? Way too many people suffer from gastrointestinal issues, and much less are aware of the digital technologies that can come to their aid. Did you know that digestibles could successfully replace the dreaded colonoscopy? Or have you heard about microbiome testing? What about the swarm of health apps supporting dietary restrictions? We took a deep breath and jumped into the universe of digital technologies just to bring you as much information about the future of gastroenterology as possible. Will you jump after us?

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 1st 2019
In this study, we determine whether transient reintroduction of embryonic stem cell cycle miR-294 promotes cardiomyocyte cell cycle reentry enhancing cardiac repair after myocardial injury. A doxycycline-inducible AAV9-miR-294 vector was delivered to mice for activating miR-294 in myocytes for 14 days continuously after myocardial infarction. miR-294-treated mice significantly improved left ventricular functions together with decreased infarct size and apoptosis 8 weeks after MI. Myocyte cell cycle reentry increased in miR-294 hearts parallel to increased small myocyte number in the heart. Isolated adult myocytes from miR-...

The Cosmological Noocene
Here is a sketch of the future, without any specific dates assigned to its milestones. The molecular biochemistry of living beings is fully mapped and understood. The human mind is reverse engineered. It is run in software. A million variants and improvements are constructed. Molecular nanotechnology is established and becomes a mature industry, available to everyone. Anything and everything can be built efficiently and at next to zero cost given the raw materials and a specification. All disease is abolished, and aging is defeated: these are problems that boil down to control over molecules, just another form of maintaini...

Method Makes PET Tracers Out of Common Biomolecules
Researchers from the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed new radioactive tracers to track pharmaceuticals in the body and to image cancer. The findings, reported in journal Science, describe the new chemistry they have developed, along with data that demonstrate that the team was able to radioactively tag compounds that have been very difficult, or impossible, to label to date. This method could help advance medical imaging technology and provide additional information when studying pharmaceuticals and cancer.
Typically, radioactive molecules are needed for positron em...
