The Google Fitbit Air is one of the better attempts at an AI-compatible health tracker. Google Health Coach seems to think I'm on the verge of physical collapse. My sleep is not where it needs to be, hence my unimpressive readiness score. My heart rate variability, a measure of how recovered I am, is below baseline. I'm spending too much time in a hot, humid environment, it says, reminding me temperatures are creeping above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. According to Google's AI coach, I should skip my planned strength workouts. My number one job is to hydrate, stay out of the heat, and try to squeeze in some steps. Also - are my calves feeling any strain? How am I feeling about this assessment? Mixed, honestly. As it turns out, that … Read the full story at The Verge.

Medical artificial intelligence (AI) faces a fundamental challenge: uncertainty quantification. Artificial neural networks are largely unaware of the limits of their training data and can become overconfident when confronted with unfamiliar inputs. Suppose you train a neural network to distinguish among African mammals.

New James Cook University research has shown that AI can be used to help doctors differentiate between healthy people and people with schizophrenia, even when patients are stressed. The research was published in the journal Biomedical Signal Processing and Control, led by JCU Ph.D. candidate Gideon Vos as part of a multidisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists, neuroscientists and psychology researchers.

Increased FGF21 expression is essential to the life extension produced by the practice of calorie restriction. It is a part of the regulatory system governing the beneficial reaction to low levels of protein intake, an evolved response that helps to increase the odds of individuals surviving long winters and other periods of famine. Here, researchers report on the use of an FGF21 AAV gene therapy in mice to produce the sweeping improvements in health that are characteristic of most calorie restriction mimetic strategies. The decline of organ function during aging limits healthspan. Despite the potential of lifestyle interventions to improve health, sustained maintenance of healthspan is challenging, and no gerotherapeutic drugs have been approved. Here, we demonstrated that aged and geriatric male and female mice […]

Gene editing of plant DNA has the potential to produce crops with increased performance and resilience, but it can take a long time to achieve these gains. To shorten this process, scientists often use screening tools to determine where and how edits to the plant genome can be most effective.

A research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), in collaboration with the University of Zurich, has uncovered the first comprehensive map of how the anti-aging protein Klotho operates in distinct regions of the kidney, resolving long-standing scientific uncertainties about its physiological roles.

In a rapidly changing climate landscape, the plants we rely on for food, textiles and more face a multitude of challenges, including rising temperatures, drought and disease. Caltech's Gözde Demirer, the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, uses genetic engineering tools to make crops more resilient to such threats and enhance plant health. Now, she and a team of Caltech researchers have found a new solution to an old problem in an unlikely source: the zebra finch.

Developing new medicines can require thousands of chemistry experiments to identify the right recipe for a safe, effective and ideally affordable drug.

Researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have found that how quickly an older adult can execute a voluntary step—especially when distracted (concurrently performed cognitive task)—may serve as a valuable clinical predictor of survival. The exploratory study suggests that dynamic balance assessments capture an integration of neuromuscular vitality and central cognitive processing, offering a window into an individual's long-term functional health.

Google Health’s work to address issues and make improvements to the redesigned Android and iOS app continues today with version 5.02.

Senescent cells accumulate with age, a situation that appears more a result of the aging immune system failing to achieve timely clearance of newly senescent cells rather than a significant increase in the pace at which cells become senescent. Senescence occurs in response to cellular damage and stress, but also when somatic cells reach the Hayflick limit on replication. A senescent cell becomes larger, ceases replication, and devotes its energies to the secretion of pro-growth, pro-inflammatory signals. In the short term and in youth this is usually beneficial, helping to coordinate tissue maintenance, regeneration, and suppression of potentially cancerous cells. When sustained for the long term, the signaling of senescent cells is disruptive to tissue structure and function, however, contributing to the damaging chronic inflammation […]

Alongside calorie restriction, exercise represents the gold standard of proof for an intervention to slow degenerative aging. Sadly the research community has demonstrated all too few approaches that can robustly improve on exercise and physical fitness in the matter of aging, and none of those yet have compelling human data to support the extensive animal studies. Rapamycin and senolytics spring to mind as those with the greatest amount of data. Partial epigenetic reprogramming is also interesting but still too new to have gathered a very large body of animal work, despite the vast funding devoted to it in recent years. Thus pharmacological mimicry of the response to exercise continues to interest researchers, and programs in this part of the field continue to emerge. Global declines […]

A research team from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) has developed a new experimental model based on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that makes it possible to reproduce in the laboratory the progression of tumors associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), from benign forms to aggressive malignant tumors. The study, published in Nature Communications, also identifies a potential therapeutic strategy based on the combination of the drugs olaparib and selumetinib.

Entomologists have compiled decades of data from butterfly houses, wild field studies, and lab experiments to build the most comprehensive picture yet of how long Heliconius butterflies live and how slowly they age.

A liver cancer diagnosis frequently leads to surgery, with the goal of completely removing all malignant tissue. To ensure that no tumor remains in the organ, the resected tissue is subjected to frozen-section analysis during the procedure. This analysis takes time: Patients remain under general anesthesia throughout, operating room staff are occupied, and with every passing minute the risk of complications increases.

Strength training has long been seen as something you mainly do to build muscle or look good. But a new study adds to a growing body of evidence showing that lifting weights does far more than change how we look. It may help us live longer—even if you don't spend hours each day in the gym.

Liver transplantation often depends on decisions made under pressure. In deceased donation, teams must quickly judge whether a liver is suitable, whether fat accumulation could threaten graft function, and whether unexpected vascular anatomy may complicate procurement or implantation.

In a remarkable leap forward for regenerative medicine and pharmaceutical research, a pioneering protocol has emerged that promises to revolutionize the mass production of human pluripotent stem (hPS) cells. Traditional methodologies have long relied on adherent two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures as precursors for bioreactor inoculation, presenting numerous bottlenecks including labor intensity, poor process control, and […]

Liver transplantation remains one of the most powerful curative options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) because it removes both the tumor and the diseased liver.

A team of researchers led by Professor Akitsu Hotta (Department of Clinical Application) developed a comprehensive framework that combines computational prediction, experimental validation and whole-genome analysis to evaluate intended and unintended mutations arising from CRISPR-Cas9 delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), providing a practical strategy to improve the safety of genome-editing therapies. The work is published in the journal Molecular Therapy Nucleic Acids.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune condition in which the body's own defenses turn against the optic nerves and spinal cord. This confusion leads to inflammation that can rob people of their vision, disrupt something as basic as bladder or bowel control, and in some cases even cause paralysis of the arms and legs.

Scientists discovered that Heliconius butterflies have evolved an extraordinary lifespan, living several times longer than closely related species. Even more surprising, some show little sign of physical decline as they age. Their unusual pollen-feeding lifestyle may play a role, but the research suggests deeper evolutionary changes are also helping them stay healthy for longer.

Thrombospondin-1 is a component of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) produced by senescent cells. It has been shown in the past to induce blood-brain barrier dysfunction, but here researchers show that it also degrades mitochondrial function in macrophages, biasing those cells into the inflammatory M1 state. This in turn contributes to chronic inflammation and dysfunctional bone regeneration. The accumulation of senescent cells with age is known to be an important aspect of degenerative aging, and the SASP is known to change bystander cell behavior for the worse. There are likely countless mechanisms of this nature taking place in the aging body, all of which could be suppressed via reduction of the burden of senescent cells. The aging bone marrow microenvironment is characterized by chronic low-grade […]

Researchers here report on an interesting in vitro exercise in the comparative biology of aging. They took fibroblast cells from ten difference mammalian species with widely divergent life spans and chemically induced DNA damage in the cells. Modern DNA sequencing approaches allow an accurate measure of the amount of mutational damage produced by this chemical treatment, which in turn allows a comparison of the degree to which cells from different species can resist such damage via the operation of DNA repair systems. Long-lived species have more efficient DNA repair mechanisms, as determined by this approach. We test the hypothesis that excess mutations induced in primary fibroblasts by a low dose of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) are inversely correlated with species-specific maximum life span. To measure excess mutations […]

Adjusting the operation of metabolism to modestly slow aging has long formed the bulk of fundamental research into intervention in aging. All living organisms exhibit some plasticity of life span when subject to mild stresses, such as lack of nutrients, heat, cold, and so forth. Unfortunately this strategy seems unlikely to lead to therapies that greatly improve upon the effects of exercise and lifestyle choice, particularly given the evidence for metabolic adjustment to produce ever smaller gains in longevity as species life span increases. Nonetheless, this form of research persists, driven by the scientific urge to obtain complete understanding of the way in which aging progresses in detail. Here, for example, researchers provide evidence for there to be multiple options for the adjustment of metabolism […]
