Exposing cells to the Yamanaka transcription factors for a short period of time can produce rejuvenation of nuclear DNA structure, epigenetic regulation of that structure, and cell function. Cells in aged tissues become functionally younger following this partial reprogramming, expressing genes in the same way that younger cells do. Initial efforts to build treatments based on this finding have focused on gene therapy approaches, but gene therapy technologies come attached to thorny delivery issues. It remains somewhere between very difficult and impossible to deliver gene therapies to many of the tissues in the body, or to deliver systemically and evenly throughout the body. Small molecule drugs, on the other hand, can be much better at achieving body-wide distribution of effects. If looking to the near […]

Knee pain shapes how you move through the day, interrupts sleep, and often grows harder to ignore with time. For many adults, especially those over 45, the source of that pain is osteoarthritis, a gradual wearing down of the joint's cartilage that affects around 654 million people worldwide. 1 As cartilage thins and wears down, it leaves the knee more vulnerable to damage. One common result is a meniscal tear, which is characterized by the fraying or splitting of the meniscus, the rubbery disc that cushions the knee and absorbs shock with every step. 2 Together, osteoarthritis and meniscal tears form a painful duo that causes stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility, and even results in up to 400,000 arthroscopic partial meniscectomies (a surgery to remove part of the meniscus) annually in the United States. 3 Yet research has shown that outcomes from surgery aren't always better than those from structured exercise or physical therapy (PT) for

This population-based study of U.S. adults aged 70 and older found that shingles vaccination was associated with slower epigenetic and transcriptomic aging, as well as lower systemic inflammation. No significant associations were observed for neurodegeneration or cardiovascular biomarkers, highlighting domain-specific molecular effects rather than broad clinical changes.

A cell phone radiation health study has been launched by the HHS to investigate whether electromagnetic radiation from phones and cell towers could harm Americans.

Metabolism is complex, the interactions of countless molecules inside and outside cells. Evolution clearly does not optimize for the metabolism that provides individuals of a species with longer, more comfortable lives. We know this because any number of small tweaks to levels and interactions of specific proteins or metabolites have been shown to improve health and slow aging in multiple species. Success for a species is not necessarily aligned with success for any of the individuals making up that species. Today's open access review is a guided tour of a handful of metabolites that are present in the body and for which studies have shown that upregulation (or in a few cases downregulation) can modestly slow aging in animal studies. This actually encapsulates quite a […]

Any individual transcription factor influences the expression of many different genes. Researchers have established that some transcription factors can induce radical changes in cell state and behavior, such as the Yamanaka factors used in reprogramming studies. For any specific desirable change in the behavior of aged cells, it is possible that one or more specific transcription factors exist to create that change - the challenge lies in identifying those transcription factors. Researchers are thus working to assess and catalog the many transcription factors present in the human genome. It is a large task. The work noted here covers just one cell type and by no means all of the space of possibilities even there. Nonetheless, that the researchers found potentially useful transcription factors suggests that […]

The balance of microbial populations making up the gut microbiome changes for the worse with aging. Populations that provoke inflammation increase in size at the expense of populations that manufacture beneficial metabolites. We have some idea of the size of the resulting contribution to degenerative aging as a result of fecal microbiota transplantation studies, from young donor to old recipient, carried out in killifish and mice. Old recipients provided with a young gut microbiome composition exhibit improved health and extended life. Sustained programs of exercise are known to improve the composition of the gut microbiome, reducing the magnitude of some of the changes known to occur with age. This may be the result of improved immune function, and thus a greater ability of the immune […]
