mTOR in Aging Ep 3 - Mitochondria Effects on mTOR Study Dr David Sabatini Interview Series

In this video Dr. Sabatini discusses his recent paper and in particular  how the health of the mitochondria impact the activation of mTOR and how  this is signaled.  Dr. David Sabatini is an American scientist and Professor of Biology at  the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as well as a member of the  Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. He is known for his  important contributions in the areas of cell signaling and cancer  metabolism, most notably the discovery of mTOR, more than 20 years ago.  Since then Dr. Sabatini has continued to work on better understanding  this complex regulator of our metabolism  Some key references.  The paper discussed in the video.  Genome-wide CRISPR screens reveal multitiered mechanisms through which  mTORC1 senses mitochondrial dysfunction  https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.22.351361v1.full.pdf   Twenty-five years of mTOR: Uncovering the link from nutrients to growth  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5692607/

Exercise Effect on Biomarkers 2020 Study Dr. Michael Snyder Stanford University Part VI

In this video talks about the biological age measurement in his research  study and also his views on Exercise as an important contributor for  extending healthspan. We also look at a paper by his team which looks in depth at the effects of acute exercise on the biochemistry of the body. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092867420305080 Dr. Snyder is the Stanford W. Ascherman Professor and Chair, Department  of Genetics and Director, Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine  at Stanford University. He is a leader in the field of functional  genomics and proteomics. Seminal findings from the Snyder laboratory  include the discovery that much more of the human genome is transcribed  and contains regulatory information than was previously appreciated, and  a high diversity of transcription factor binding occurs both between  and within species. He has also pioneered the use of different  state-of-the-art “omics” technologies as well as wearable devices for  managing human health.

Ageotypes 4 New Personal Aging Makers Dr. Michael Snyder Stanford University Part V

Dr. Snyder is the Stanford W. Ascherman Professor and Chair, Department  of Genetics and Director, Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine  at Stanford University. He is a leader in the field of functional  genomics and proteomics. Seminal findings from the Snyder laboratory  include the discovery that much more of the human genome is transcribed  and contains regulatory information than was previously appreciated, and  a high diversity of transcription factor binding occurs both between  and within species. He has also pioneered the use of different  state-of-the-art “omics” technologies as well as wearable devices for  managing human health.    In this episode, Dr. Snyder will talk about Ageotypes, defined as the part  of the body where the aging process was most active based on a research  study led by him, which could explain why we age at different rates. The study tracked 106 healthy individuals, aged between 29 and 75,  taking blood and biological samples to investigate each person at a deep  molecular level. They carried out tests at least five times over two  years in order to record any changes, with Dr. Snyder even taking part  as a subject of his own research.    Researchers discovered four “ageotypes,” – defined as the part of the  body where the aging process was most active. Those involved in the  trial tended to age most within the immune system, kidney, liver, or at a  metabolic level.  Ageotypes may provide a molecular assessment of personal aging,  reflective of personal lifestyle and medical history, that may  ultimately be useful in monitoring and intervening in the aging process. Personal aging markers and ageotypes revealed by deep longitudinal  profiling

Metformin, Rapamycin and TAME Project Dr. Nir Barzilai Albert Einstein College of Medicine

Age Later: Health Span, Life Span, and the New Science of Longevity In Age Later Dr. Barzilai’s New Book - https://amzn.to/30MOsGT Aging and Centenarian Studies : This is the part 2 of our interview series with Dr. Nir Brazilai from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Barzilai is the founding director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Human Aging Research and of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging.   Dr. Barzilai discovered the first longevity gene in humans and has since discovered several others. In addition to his “longevity gene” research, Dr. Barzilai studies key mechanisms involved in the biology of aging, including how nutrients and genetics influence lifespan. He is also investigating the physical and mental declines associated with aging and how they affect longevity.   He is the author of over 270 peer-reviewed papers and a recipient of numerous prestigious awards,including the recipient of the 2010 Irving S. Wright Award of Distinction in Aging Research and is the 2018 recipient of the IPSEN Longevity award. Dr. Barzilai’s New Book - Age Later: Health Span, Life Span, and the New Science of Longevity In Age Later, the No.1 Best Sellers in Physiology section in Amazon, reveals the secrets his team has unlocked about SuperAgers and the scientific discoveries that show we can mimic some of their natural resistance to the aging process. In this interview Dr. Barzilai discusses his Metformin, rapamycin and the TAME trial, a large scale clinical trial of Metformin to see if it can reduce or delay the effects of aging.
