“We Are Electric” by Sally Adee: Medgadget Interviews the Author
The human body has a deep connection with electricity. The transmission of electrical impulses is responsible for the movement of our limbs, the functioning of our organs, and the formation and recall of memories. The signatures of the various electrical signals emanating from our body can be telltale signs of our health, and a jolt of electricity can literally bring us back from the brink of death.
But while these things have long been known about the electricity constantly coursing through our bodies, what has more recently been discovered is the role that “bioelectricity” plays in the formation of our bod...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 24th 2023
In this study, researchers show that mice lacking a functional ATF4 gene show little to no loss of grip strength and treadmill performance into late life; it is quite an impressive effect size. Assessments of muscle biochemistry do show age-related declines, but to a lesser degree than the controls. How ATF4 knockout functions to produce this outcome is an interesting question. The researchers point out a range of possible downstream and upstream targets that have been implicated in the regulation of muscle growth, but it will clearly require further work to identify the important mechanisms involved.

Detection of Small Amounts of Misfolded α-Synuclein Identifies Early Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is characterized by misfolding and aggregation of α-synuclein, a pathology that spreads from where it initially starts, frequently in the intestinal nervous system, spreading between nerve cells. Researchers here report on a technique to identify the presence of small amounts of misfolded α-synuclein, demonstrating that it allows for early detection of the condition. Near every disease is easier to treat or at least slow down in its earlier stages, and early detection may well be an essential part of efforts to prevent the development of common age-related neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkins...
