Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 8th 2021
This study was divided in two phases: CALERIE-1 and CALERIE-2. CALERIE-1 study was performed to assess the possible effects induced by a reduction of 10-30% of caloric intake on body composition parameters and lipid profile after 6 and 12 months in a population of middle-aged non-obese subjects. CALERIE-1 results showed an improvement in lipid and glycemic profile and a reduction in body weight (BW) and fat mass.
CALERIE-2 was the largest multi-center study on CRD. A total of 220 subjects were enrolled randomly with a 2:1 allocation into two subgroups: 145 in the CRD group and 75 in the ad libitum group. The CRD gro...

Pandemics are Not New: What Can Indigenous Worldviews Teach Us?
by Jennifer McCurdy, PhD, BSN, MH, HEC-C
Pandemics are not new to human experience. Stories of the Black Death, the Spanish Flu, and waves of smallpox, cholera, and measles have a place in the collective social memory. But something happens viscerally when the experience is first-hand. A witnessing of overrun emergency rooms, dropping oxygen saturations, empty grocery store shelves, and make-shift morgues on semi-trucks stir a common dread. Health care workers and other essential personnel experience waves of exhaustion, anger, moral distress, and a fear of death concurrent with a deep sense of duty toward humanity.R...

Notes on European Longevity Industry Startups
While much of the longevity industry is based in the US, there are a fair number of companies elsewhere in the world, working on approaches that target the mechanisms of aging in order to better treat age-related conditions or improve health in later life. The article here notes some of the European biotech startups in the industry. The main body of commentary on the industry in this article suffers from much the same issues as most popular science coverage of research into the treatment of aging as a medical condition, in that the author makes no attempt to distinguish between parts of the field that cannot possible do mu...

Top 6 Crowdsourcing Examples In Digital Health
During your school years, you might have encountered several instances where your teacher laid out a task or asked a question, and asked you and your classmates to come up with an answer or solution. This “method” somewhat exemplifies crowdsourcing, albeit in analogue form. In essence, the term refers to the act of gathering information or input into a task from a large group of people; or simply, “outsourcing work to the crowd” as the Wired editors who coined the term in 2005 described it.
However, one must not confuse crowdsourcing with crowdfunding. The latter involves raising relatively small amounts of fu...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 1st 2021
In this study, we characterize age-related phenotypes of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). We report increased frequencies of HSC, hematopoetic progenitor cells (HPC), and lineage negative cells in the elderly but a decreased frequency of multi-lymphoid progenitors. Aged human HSCs further exhibited a delay in initiating division ex vivo though without changes in their division kinetics. The activity of the small RhoGTPase Cdc42 was elevated in aged human hematopoietic cells and we identified a positive correlation between Cdc42 activity and the frequency of HSCs upon aging.
The frequency of human HSCs polar fo...

One Cannot be " Fat But Healthy "
Extensive human evidence strongly supports the conjecture that excess fat tissue is simply harmful. That harm cannot be evaded by exercise: one cannot be "fat but healthy". Visceral fat packed around the abdominal organs generates chronic inflammation, a raised burden of senescent cells, and all sorts of other issues. It pushes fat into the organs themselves; in the case of the pancreas that excess fat is the primary cause of type 2 diabetes. In the liver, it leads to fatty liver disease. Even modest amounts of excess fat tissue raise mortality rates and shorten life expectancy.
A large study finds that physical a...

A Glossy Ibis in Cambridge
I think I’ve now seen six of the eight or so Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) that are in our locale at the moment. Two at RSPB Ouse Fen, three in Earith, and this one near The Cam in Chesterton. There are two more at RSPB Fen Drayton but my daily exercise has not coincided with theirs at that site. There are others further afield.
It is most likely that they are individuals that have flown in from a breeding ground in Southern Spain again to overwinter in East Anglia. Apparently, there was a pair in 2014 that built a nest in Lincolnshire, but didn’t breed. This kind of bird activity is occurring more common...

Alice in Nutcaseland
People have always been subject to elaborate false belief systems, from believing the Oracle at Delphi to the resurrection of Jesus to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It ' s nothing new. All three of the above, have done a lot of harm, along with countless other hoaxes.* But are we in a particularly deranged period of history? The big difference from the past, or at least we thought so up until recently, is that we had the Scientific Revolution and developed rules of evidence, along with the technological means to evaluate reality and the communicative infrastructure to converge on a consensus about what is...
