The meeting notice:
Hi!
Today I got a very interesting advance notice that the American Aging Association will hold the 2025 meeting in Anchorage! I have been attending their meetings regularly for 20 years now, so having a meeting in Alaska will be great. Anyone who wants to come along I will be driving down. May 11-14 2025. I will pester you again about this as I get more information.
I have put last month’s lecture online if you want to view it. I am sorry I haven’t managed to get these online every month, I will work to get the past ones caught up but I continue to be overloaded with work so don’t hold your breath.
There has been a lot of interesting aging stuff in the news over the summer:
- Harvard study claims humans can help fight diseases simply by breathing (msn.com)
- Sinclair lab: reversing epigenetics: Chemically induced reprogramming to reverse cellular aging | Aging (aging-us.com)
- https://skeptvet.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Mckenzie-et-al-2022-Phenotype-of-Aging.pdf
- Exercise Makes You Feel Better! What Science Says About How To Exercise For More Happiness And A Better Mood. (msn.com)
- Drug trial shows 100% success rate in rectal cancer (tribune.com.pk)
Stuff I found about procyanidin c1 and how it increases lifespan in mice (makes me think about eating grape seeds!):
- The flavonoid procyanidin c1 has senotherapeutic activity and increases lifespan in mice.
- Procyanidin from nursing-and-health-professions
- Apple Procyanidin Oligomers Absorption in Rats after Oral Administration: Analysis of Procyanidins in Plasma Using the Porter Method and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry
- Urinary excretion and metabolism of procyanidins in pigs
- Cocoa procyanidins are stable during gastric transit in humans
- Procyanidin C1 from Viola odorata L. inhibits Na+,K+-ATPase
- Grape Seeds Proanthocyanidins: An Overview of In Vivo Bioactivity in Animal Models
- Grape seed extract a potent generation 2 senolytic
- Foods with PCC1 in them
At this meeting I will talk a bit about the difference between chronological age (how old you are based on your date of birth) and biological age (how old your body looks, feels and functions)–and why we should care. Part of this will come from NOVOS, which is an anti-aging company that I feel is doing good work, especially in the areas of outreach and information distribution. So many companies just say ‘take our products’, NOVOS explains a lot about what is going on in aging and (of course) those products they have that will help slow aging. I will also talk a bit about the various ways of measuring biological age.
Cheers,
Ray
