BUFFALO, NY- January 22, 2024 – On January 3, 2024, Mikhail V. Blagosklonny M.D., Ph.D., from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center #published a new brief #report in Oncoscience (Volume 11), entitled, “My battle with cancer. Part 1.”

“In January 2023, diagnosed with numerous metastases of lung cancer in my brain, I felt that I must accomplish a mission. If everything happens for a reason, my cancer, in particular, I must find out how metastatic cancer can be treated with curative intent. This is my mission now, and the reason I was ever born. In January 2023, I understood the meaning of life, of my life. I was born to write this article. In this article, I argue that monotherapy with targeted drugs, even when used in sequence, cannot cure metastatic cancer. However, preemptive combinations of targeted drugs may, in theory, cure incurable cancer. Also, I share insights on various topics, including rapamycin, an anti-aging drug that can delay but not prevent cancer, through my personal journey.”

Aging (Aging-US)

Published in Oncoscience: Dr. Blagosklonny’s Battle With Cancer (Part 1)

Published in Oncoscience: My Battle with Cancer. Part 1

BUFFALO, NY- June 12, 2024 – A new review paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 10, entitled, “Peripheral vascular dysfunction and the aging brain.”

Aging is the greatest non-modifiable risk factor for most diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. In their new review, researchers Devin Wahl and Zachary S. Clayton from Colorado State University and the University of Colorado note that robust evidence indicates that CVD are a strong determinant for reduced brain health and all-cause dementia with advancing age. 

“CVD are also closely linked with peripheral and cerebral vascular dysfunction, common contributors to the development and progression of all types of dementia, that are largely driven by excessive levels of oxidative stress (e.g., reactive oxygen species [ROS]).”

Emerging evidence suggests that several fundamental aging mechanisms (e.g., “hallmarks” of aging), including chronic low-grade inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence and deregulated nutrient sensing contribute to excessive ROS production and are common to both peripheral and cerebral vascular dysfunction. Therefore, targeting these mechanisms to reduce ROS-related oxidative stress and improve peripheral and/or cerebral vascular function may be a promising strategy to reduce dementia risk with aging. Investigating how certain lifestyle strategies (e.g., aerobic exercise and diet modulation) and/or select pharmacological agents (natural and synthetic) intersect with aging “hallmarks” to promote peripheral and/or cerebral vascular health represent a viable option for reducing dementia risk with aging. 

“Therefore, the primary purpose of this review is to explore mechanistic links among peripheral vascular dysfunction, cerebral vascular dysfunction, and reduced brain health with aging. Such insight and assessments of non-invasive measures of peripheral and cerebral vascular health with aging might provide a new approach for assessing dementia risk in older adults.”

About Aging-US

Aging publishes research papers in all fields of aging research, including but not limited to aging processes (from yeast to mammals), cellular senescence, age-related diseases (such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease) and their prevention and treatment, anti-aging strategies and drug development, and, importantly, the role of signal transduction pathways in aging (such as mTOR) and potential approaches to modulate these signaling pathways to extend lifespan.

The journal aims to promote 1) treatment of age-related diseases by slowing down aging, 2) validation of anti-aging drugs by treating age-related diseases, and 3) prevention of cancer by inhibiting aging. (Cancer and COVID-19 are age-related diseases.)

The Aging Brain and Peripheral Vascular Dysfunction

Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder marked by the premature onset of features typically associated with normal aging. This autosomal recessive condition manifests in individuals who generally develop normally until adolescence. As the syndrome progresses, affected individuals are predisposed to age-related diseases much earlier in life. These conditions include cataracts, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, and various cancers. The underlying cause of Werner syndrome is believed to be mutations in the WRN gene, which encodes a RecQ helicase crucial for DNA repair and replication.

Despite the accelerated aging, cognitive function remains unaffected in individuals with WS, providing a unique model for studying the mechanisms of aging and exploring potential therapeutic interventions. Although extensive research has been conducted, the precise mechanisms underlying these effects remain elusive.

On May 24, 2024, researchers Lucie Aumailley, Marie Julie Dubois, André Marette, and Michel Lebel from Université Laval published research paper chosen as the cover of Aging’s Volume 16, Issue 10, entitled, “Integrated liver and serum proteomics uncover sexual dimorphism and alteration of several immune response proteins in an aging Werner syndrome mouse model.” Recognizing the limitations of traditional investigative approaches, Aumailley et al. utilized advanced proteomics in their study. Proteomics allows the simultaneous identification and quantification of hundreds of proteins, providing a comprehensive analysis of liver and serum proteome profiles from wild-type and WRN mutant mice at different ages to uncover biological processes influenced by age and genotype.
