Krebs Cycle: Why It Matters - Prof Nick Lane

The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Inside Science Series

Understanding the Krebs Cycle

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates series on radio and podcast.  I’m Paul Vogelzang, and as part of our Inside Science interview series with Smithsonian Associates, our guest today is author and scientist Nick Lane.  Nick Lane will be appearing at the Smithsonian Associates and you can check out more details in our show notes today.

Generations of students have learned how the Krebs cycle generates the building blocks of life and fuels the furnace of respiration. Biochemist Nick Lane is among the vanguard of researchers who ask how this complex, contradictory pathway of creation, destruction, and renewal within our cells could help us understand questions from the origins of life to the devastation of cancer. 

In an animated conversation with us today, Nick Lane guides an exploration through the “conflicted merry-go-round of energy and matter” that is the Krebs cycle. Along the way, he recounts the scientific detective work that discovered this process while deconstructing textbook views about metabolism.

Nick Lane will tell us about how he traces the primacy of the Krebs cycle—and its reverse—from deep-sea hydrothermal vents and the “Cambrian Explosion” to the individual, yet universal, experience of aging. By distilling and humanizing complex research, Lane offers an essential overview for anyone fascinated by biology’s great mysteries.  What this means to our lives, our death, disease, and the origin of life…I’ll let Nick Lane tell you himself, but first, let’s hear Nick Lane read a passage from his new book, ‘Transformer. 

That of course, is our guest today, Prof Nick Lane reading from his new book ‘Transformer’ 

Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast author, scientist, and Smithsonian Associate, Nick Lane.

My thanks to author and scientist Nick Lane for his time and patience with me and our audience about the Krebs Cycle.  Nick Lane will be appearing at the Smithsonian Associates and you can check out more details in our show notes today.  I thank you, my wonderful audience here on The Not Old Better Show. Please be well, be safe and let’s eliminate assault rifles.  Assault rifles are unnecessary, and they instill fear in our children and grandchildren in the very place they learn: school.  Please let’s do this.  And, please, let’s talk about better.  The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.  Thanks, everybody, and we’ll see you next time.  Today's show is dedicated to the late Dr. Barry Sinervo...my favorite scientist.

Putting The Brakes On Aging - Dr. Pradeep Reddy
The Not Old Better Show, Inside Science Interview Series 

Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, I’m Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #328. Today’s show is brought to you by MoLekule and Care/Of. 

As part of our Inside Science and Technology, Interview series, today we are speaking with Dr. Pradeep Reddy, Salk Institute. 

As we all know in the Not Old Better Show audience, aging is a leading risk factor for a number of debilitating conditions, including heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's disease, to name a few. This makes the need for anti-aging therapies all the more urgent. 

Now, Salk Institute researchers have developed a new gene therapy to help decelerate the aging process. Today we’ll be speaking with one of those researchers, Dr. Pradeep Reddy, from the Salk Institute. Dr Pradeep Reddy is a research scientist with a focus on aging, genetics, stem cells and aging, and biochemistry. 

The Salk Institute for Biological Studies prioritizes scientific research for cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, aging, and other areas of science, and is considered one of the top 5 research centers in the world. 

Please join me in welcoming to the Not Old Better Show, via internet phone, Dr. Pradeep Reddy.
