Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 1st 2022
In this study, we used the recently released Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip to compare such epigenetic modifications in C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2J (DBA) mice. We observed marked differences in age-associated DNA methylation in these commonly used inbred mouse strains, indicating that epigenetic clocks for one strain cannot be simply applied to other strains without further verification. Interestingly, the CpGs with highest age-correlation were still overlapping in B6 and DBA mice and included the genes Hsf4, Prima1, Aspa, and Wnt3a. Furthermore, Hsf4, Aspa, and Wnt3a revealed highly significant age-associated DNA methyla...

Aubrey de Grey on Progress in SENS Rejuvenation Research
In this recent interview with Aubrey de Grey touches on a number of areas of progress made by the research and development community in recent years, projects that lead towards rejuvenation therapies based on the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS). In the SENS view, supported by a very sizable literature accumulated over the past century, aging is caused by underlying processes of damage accumulation. What we think of as aging is a diverse collection of downstream consequences of that damage. Periodically repairing the underlying damage, allowing the normal maintenance of the body to continue as it woul...
