  • The Other Harm Caused by Mitochondrial DNA Damage in Aging

    Updated: 2012-06-29 22:35:11
    As I'm sure you all know by now, mitochondria are swarming powerplants within the cell, descendants of symbiotic bacteria that bear their own DNA separate from the DNA in the cell nucleus. Mitochondrial DNA provides the blueprints for proteins making up the machinery of a mitochondrion, but it isn't as well protected or as well repaired as nuclear DNA. Given that a lot of reactive compounds are funneled through mitochondria in the processes that keep a cell powered, it is only to be expected that mitochondrial DNA becomes progressively more damaged over time. The range of mechanisms that have evolved...

  • Age-Related Visual Impairment in Decline

    Updated: 2012-06-29 13:00:41
    Steady progress in medicine has led to an ongoing reduction in many age-related conditions over the past few decades. Such as this, for example: "Today's senior citizens are reporting fewer visual impairment problems than their counterparts from a generation ago, according to a new [study]. Improved techniques for cataract surgery and a reduction in the prevalence of macular degeneration may be the driving forces behind this change, the researchers said. ... From 1984 until 2010, the decrease in visual impairment in those 65 and older was highly statistically significant. There was little change in visual impairments in adults under the...

  • Early Medical Nanorobots Will Look Like Cells and Bacteria

    Updated: 2012-06-28 23:04:49
    If I mention medical nanorobotics, you might think of the designs put forward by Robert Freitas and others: molecular machines constructed largely from carbon that bear little relation to the cells and cellular system they are intended to interact with. Or you might think of the crude forerunners of those designs presently being tested in the laboratory, such as targeted nanoparticles and nanocontainers used to deliver drug compounds more precisely to where they are needed. But you and I are built out of nanorobots: each of our cells is effectively a structured collection of cooperating, programmable nanoscale robots. They are...

  • A Step Towards Better Blood

    Updated: 2012-06-28 12:55:00
    Why not aim to improve on blood? Its primary function is to carry oxygen, and it has evolved to do the bare minimum necessary on this front - separate any part of the body from a supply of oxygen for a minute or so and you're in trouble. It would be nice, for example, to have blood with a reserve capacity of a few hours, achieved using nanomachines that store the surplus oxygen that the body doesn't otherwise extract from air breathed in. Even if the heart stopped or blood stopped flowing in some vital tissue, you'd have those few...

  • Demonstrating Genetically Corrected Stem Cells as a Therapy

    Updated: 2012-06-28 12:22:29
    This demonstrated technology platform has wide-ranging uses beyond muscular dystrophy. The ability to generate altered versions of a patient's own stem cell populations and then deliver them as needed could be a useful therapy for many conditions: "scientists have turned muscular dystrophy patients' fibroblast cells (common cells found in connective tissue) into stem cells and then differentiated them into muscle precursor cells. The muscle cells were then genetically modified and transplanted into mice. ... In this study, scientists focused on genetically modifying a type of cell called a mesoangioblast, which is derived from blood vessels and has been shown in...

  • Comments on Chemopreservation Versus Cryopreservation

    Updated: 2012-06-27 12:44:40
    There is some ongoing interest in plastination (or chemopreservation) as a possible alternative to cryonics (or cryopreservation) - though not yet enough for an initiative to arise that offers that service. Here is commentary on this topic: "Even if chemopreservation can be demonstrated to preserve the intricate wiring of the brain, it can be safely assumed that there will not be a massive change in demand for brain preservation technologies ... As a consequence, providers of chemopreservation will most likely operate in the same environment as providers of cryonics. That means that, as a general rule, there will be a...

  • Calorie Restriction Reduces Loss of Synaptic Plasticity

    Updated: 2012-06-27 12:12:52
    Another of the many benefits of calorie restriction is outlined in this paper: "The author focused on the functional decline of synapses in the brain with aging to understand the underlying mechanisms and to ameliorate the deficits. The first attempt was to unravel the neuronal functions of gangliosides so that gangliosides could be used for enhancing synaptic activity. The second attempt was to elicit the neuronal plasticity in aged animals through enriched environmental stimulation and nutritional intervention. Environmental stimuli were revealed neurochemically and morphologically to develop synapses leading to enhanced cognitive function. Dietary restriction as a nutritional intervention restored the...

  • Mitochondrial Haplogroup Associations With Longevity in China

    Updated: 2012-06-26 12:47:40
    Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell and are important in aging: damage to their DNA contributes to degenerative aging through a complex process, and differences in mitochondrial resistance to damage is thought to go a long way towards determining variation in species life span. So it should not be surprising to see associations between different mitochondrial DNA haplogroups and human longevity, as is the case here: "Human longevity is an interesting and complicated subject, with many associated variations, geographic and genetic, including some known mitochondrial variations. The population of the Bama County of Guangxi Province of China is...

  • Another Way of Searching for Longevity-Related Mechanisms

    Updated: 2012-06-26 12:20:59
    Researchers are developing all sorts of methods for sifting through the mass of data on protein machinery used in our bodies, and some groups are finding novel ways to identify possible longevity-related proteins: "Despite a 10-100-fold difference in maximum lifespan (MLS), most known mammal species show similar phenotypes of aging. This observation suggests that the genetic determinants of mammalian aging and lifespan may be relatively plastic. The classical evolutionary theory of antagonistic pleiotropy posits that aging is an effect of the decrease in selection pressure that occurs after successful reproduction. Conversely, lifespan extension has been shown to occur when selection...

  • Popular Press on Organ Tissue Engineering

    Updated: 2012-06-25 13:09:06
    Building new organs from a patient's own cells is a goal that is gaining more attention from the wider public and the mainstream press: "What if dying patients waiting for an organ transplant could receive a custom, lab-grown replacement rather than waiting for a donor organ? To some, this may sound like science fiction - and in many ways, it still is. But the advances in the field of regenerative medicine that made headlines last week suggest such lab-grown organs may become reality in the future. ... The idea of using a patient's own cells rather than relying on those...

  • In Situ Tissue Engineering of an Artery

    Updated: 2012-06-25 12:29:48
    The logical progression for tissue engineering is to move to building inside the body rather than building outside and then transplanting the resulting new tissue. Here is an example of that trend: "The host site, the artery in this case, is an excellent source of cells and provides a very efficient growth environment. This is what inspired us to skip the cell culture altogether and create these cell-free synthetic grafts. ... [Researchers] designed the graft with three properties in mind. First, they chose a graft material - an elastic polymer called PGS - that is resorbed quickly by the body....
