Leakage of Mitochondrial DNA into the Cytosol Implicated in Parkinson's Disease

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/06/leakage-of-mitochondrial-dna-into-the-cytosol-implicated-in-parkinsons-disease/

Researchers here suggest that the combined effects of mitochondrial dysfunction and lysosomal dysfunction in long-lived cells in old brains lead to a leakage of mitochondrial DNA into the body of the cell, where it provokes maladaptive inflammatory reactions that continue to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease. The data is interesting, but needs confirmation in more relevant models than those used to date. The challenge with research into the mechanisms of neurodegeneration is that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org…

How I Stopped Putting Everyone Else’s Needs Above My Own

“Never feel sorry for choosing yourself.” ~Unknown

I was eleven years old, possibly twelve, the day I first discovered my mother’s betrayal. I assume she didn’t hear me when I walked in the door after school. The distant voices in the finished basement room of our home drew me in. My mother’s voice was soft as she spoke to her friend. What was she hiding that she didn’t want me to hear?

I leaned in a little bit closer to the opening of the stairs… She was talking about a man she’d met. Her voice changed when she spoke of him. The tone of dreamy wonder when you discover something that makes your heart race. She talked about the way they touched and how she felt being with him.

I felt my body go weak. I could not tell if it was sorrow…

A Discussion of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy as a Way to Suppress Age-Related Inflammation

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/06/a-discussion-of-mesenchymal-stem-cell-therapy-as-a-way-to-suppress-age-related-inflammation/

First generation mesenchymal stem cell therapies have been shown over the years to fairly reliably suppress chronic inflammation for some time, whether disease-associated or aging-associated. The transplanted cells die quickly, but the effects of their brief burst of signaling can last for months. Other intended benefits, such as increased regeneration or function, are in comparison unreliable at best. In part the challenge is that there is no standard in this part of the field, every clinic uses different methodologies and cell sources. These differences appear to matter greatly, and the fine details of why they matter greatly remain poorly cataloged and poorly understood.

The Wheel Deal: Our Review of the NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle

Source https://greatist.com/fitness/nordictrack-s22i

NordicTrack is no newbie in the home gym department, making everything from bikes and treadmills to ellipticals, rowers, and strength training systems. The company’s Peloton bike alternative, the NordicTrack S22i, is a power-packed sweat machine. It’s the total package, complete with a 22-inch (in.) rotating touch screen and access to fun-AF live classes.

But what sets this bike apart? We did all the research to see what it’s all about, whether it lives up to its promises, and who should saddle up and ride this cycling pony.

Cellular Senescence in the Brain as the Link Between Psychological Stress and Accelerated Cognitive Decline

Source https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/06/cellular-senescence-in-the-brain-as-the-link-between-psychological-stress-and-accelerated-cognitive-decline/

Why does psychological stress cause an apparent acceleration of measures of aging? Effects on immune function have been considered, given that stress produces measurable changes in immune-affecting signaling and inflammation, as well as on the average telomere length in immune cells taken from blood samples. That metric indicates increased replication stress placed on immune cells. Telomeres, caps of repeated DNA at the ends of chromosomes, shorten with each cell division. When too short, somatic cells – such as immune cells – become <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_senescenc…
