Questioning Geroscience: Shingles Vaccine Shows Unexpected Effects
i don’t believe there is an evidence basis for the value proposition of the geroscience hypothesis shingles vaccination was targeted to a specific virus yet this one intervention prevents Alzheimer’s disease and increases all cause mortality is the geroscience hypothesis...
Discrepancy in Mouse Counts Raises Partial Reprogramming Concerns
okay, tell me why you think browder et al had 21 mice in -dox and only 15 mice in the +dox group when they did partial reprogramming? https://t.co/gedJiKSRKo 6 more mice in the dox group got tummy aches and asked out of...
OSK Reprogramming Triggers Tumors, Undermining Mouse Study Confidence
OSK reprogramming also produces tumors see https://t.co/dNhcHVSBf3 cancer is a selective process clones grow out because they have a proliferative advantage or apoptotic disadvantage when mouse papers say no cancer despite the fact that half of lab mice die from cancer, i don't feel...
IPSC Therapies Succeed; In‑vivo Reprogramming Remains Hype
your regular reminder that Yamanaka factor-driven production of iPSCs is already producing real medicine (eg dopaminergic neural progenitor for Parkinson's, cardiomyocyte sheets for heart failure & more) iPSC tech is not done in vivo... ppl isolate the well behaved cells away...
Shingles Vaccine Beats Geroscience in Reducing Dementia
a different take: the shingles vaccine lowers dementia and all cause mortality and it’s targeted to a specific virus, not the process of aging so far the data say the score is shingles vaccine 1, geroscience hypothesis 0 and I could say the...

NR Kinase 2 Rises in NAD‑decline Diseases, May Boost Supplementation
that’s a high level question MO the specific value of NR relates to the tissue distribution of NMRK1 and NMRK2 NR kinase 2 is strongly upregulated in conditions of NAD decline including heart failure and peripheral neurodegeneration
NR Boosts NAD 2.3× More than NMN at 1.2 G/Day
ppl have been asking for head to head comparisons of NR v NMN in humans the data show that at 1.2 g/day, NR had 2.3x the blood NAD-boosting activity versus NMN the paper and the details in this 🧵 https://t.co/7KuP6LXyia
