Here are a few I have come across the last week or so. Note: Each link is followed by a title and a few paragraphs. For the full article click on the link above title of the article. Note also that full access to some links may require site registration or subscription payment.General Comment-----Quite a lot this week – especially regarding the NBN and Labor trying to regain control of what it is actually for – service provision – and not making a huge profit – in their view.

In conclusion, we show that PVS morphology in mice is variable and that the structure and function of pia suggests a previously unrecognized role in regulating CSF transport and amyloid clearance in aging and disease.
Reversing Ovarian Fibrosis in Mice
https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/07/reversing-ovarian-fibrosis-in-mice/
Researchers here provide evidence for ovarian fibrosis to be an important mechanism in limiting the age at which female mammals can remain fertile. Interestingly, existing antifibrotic drugs can produce some reversal of this fibrosis, enough to restore ovulation in mice. Fibro...

A Discussion of the Grandmother Hypothesis
We humans are longer-lived than our near primate cousins, and this is a comparatively recent development in evolutionary time. It is thought that this longevity arises from our greater intelligence and culture. When grandparents can contribute to the reproductive success of grandchildren, there is a selection pressure favoring mechanisms that allow for individual survival to older ages than would otherwise be the case. Chimpanzees do not have sufficient intelligence and culture for grandparents to greatly influence the success of their grandchildren, natural selection does not operate as strongly on the shape of later life...

Reversing Ovarian Fibrosis in Mice
Researchers here provide evidence for ovarian fibrosis to be an important mechanism in limiting the age at which female mammals can remain fertile. Interestingly, existing antifibrotic drugs can produce some reversal of this fibrosis, enough to restore ovulation in mice. Fibrosis is a malfunction of tissue maintenance; cells produce too much collagen, creating scar-like deposits that disrupt tissue structure and function. The range of present drug treatments can produce only a little benefit for most fibrotic conditions, and thus the positive results here are quite intriguing.
The female ovary contains a finite nu...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 4th 2022
This study showed that centenarians had very specific changes in CD4+ T cell populations, which were manifested by an elevated Th17/Treg ratio in vivo, as well as a changed secretory phenotype. Although the T cells of centenarians cannot resist the aging-related expression of proinflammatory genes, their secretory phenotype was altered, explaining the relatively low level of inflammation in centenarians. These results suggested the presence of a mechanism to ameliorate inflammaging in centenarians. This may be achieved by reversing the imbalance of Th17/Treg cells and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Negligible Senescence in a Number of Reptilian and Amphibian Species
As scientists note here, a number of reptilian and amphibian species exhibit negligible senescence, in that their mortality risk does not increase with age, at least not until very late life. The question has always been whether there is anything that can be learned from the cellular biochemistry of these species that can serve as the basis for enhancement therapies in mammals. There is no assurance that the basis of negligible senescence in any given species is simple enough to be useful. There is no assurance that even a simple difference could be safely ported over into mammalian biology given the biotechnology of the n...

Digital Vaccines – Can This AI Tool Save Us from Ourselves?
The following is a guest article by Dr. Neecey Hudson, PhD – Founder & Chief Scientist at Hood Medicine Initiative.
Pandemic preparedness has now become a paramount concern across the globe. From vaccine supply chain logistics to hospital capacity management, many nations have failed to provide competent response measures that equitably protect their citizens and reduce the spread of infection, while low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are facing enormous challenges to do so. This global crisis has tested our ability as a civilization to respond to public health emergencies and mitigate the impact of geopo...

This study showed a negative relationship between the gaps and the number of senescence cells. Moreover, we found a similar reduction in 30-month-old naturally and 7-month-old D-gal-induced aging rats. Given these consistent data from different eukaryotic organisms, it suggests that the Youth-DNA-GAP is a marker of phenotype-related aging degree
