The Extended Fertility of Naked Mole-Rats
Naked mole-rats exhibit few signs of aging across a life span. Only the queens bear young, but they can continue do so into old age. As this study notes, they achieve this feat via a number of mechanisms that ensure a continued supply of egg cells. This isn't just a matter of minimizing damage to these cells and their supporting tissues, but also generating new egg cells in adult life, unlike other mammals. It remains an open question as to whether there is any great realization yet to be found in this comparative biology that will benefit efforts to extend human fertility into later life. It doesn't hurt to look.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 13th 2023
This study investigated whether taller Polish adults live longer than their shorter counterparts. Data on declared height were available from 848,860 individuals who died in the years 2004-2008 in Poland. To allow for the cohort effect, the Z-values were generated. Separately for both sexes, Pearson's r coefficients of correlation were calculated. Subsequently, one way ANOVA was performed.
The correlation between adult height and longevity was negative and statistically significant in both men and women. After eliminating the effects of secular trends in height, the correlation was very weak (r = -0.0044 in men and ...

Considering a Role for Infectious Disease in the Evolution of Aging
If interested in the evolution of aging, today's open access paper opens with a very readable tour of the history of thought on this topic, as well as the more recent debate between different classes of hypotheses that seek to explain the evolution of aging. The authors are opinionated, and the path leads to their favored theory, involving population-wide effects driven by infectious disease that do not require group selection, but it nonetheless covers a lot of ground and makes for an educational read. Theories of aging are much debated, perhaps in part because there are so many exceptions to the rule that must be explain...

“Being a researcher is special because there aren’t many jobs that allow you to spend the majority of your time thinking about the things you find the most interesting in the whole world,” says William Ratcliff, Ph.D., an associate professor of biological sciences and the director of the interdisciplinary graduate program in quantitative biosciences at Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta. We talked with Dr. Ratcliff about his career path, research on yeast, and advice to budding scientists.

Flexible Sensors Detect Heavy Metals in Sweat
Researchers at the University of São Paulo in Brazil, along with collaborators in Germany and Sweden, have developed a flexible sensor that can detect heavy metals in sweat, an easily obtainable bodily fluid. Heavy metals, such as lead or cadmium, can cause serious toxicity if they accumulate in the body, but detecting the concentration of such metals in biological samples requires expensive laboratory equipment and skilled staff. To address this, these researchers have created a flexible sensor that is easy to use and which can detect metals in sweat samples before transmitting the results to a smartphone. The technology...

Infertility: Navigating the challenges of IVF and the importance of self-advocacy

I have never truly known heartbreak until the failure of IVF embryo transfers. Three preimplantation genetically tested normal embryos failed to implant, and knowing my three perfect embabies (embryos that were transferred

The “Antebellum Paradox”: What is it and why it matters.
BY MIKE MAGEE
I recently made the case that “Health is foundational to a functioning democracy. But health must be shared and be broadly accessible to be an effective enabler of good government.” I also suggested that the pursuit of good health is implied and imbedded in the aspirational and idealistic wording of our U.S. Constitution, and that the active pursuit of health as a nation is essential if we wish to rise to Hamilton’s challenge in Federalist #1 and prove that we are “capable of establishing good government from reflection and choice.” So why are native white males lagging behind in health?
