Aging to Your 70s and Above Makes a Catastrophic Change in Your Body, Says Research – Nature World News

Posted: June 4, 2022 at 1:52 am

A revolutionary theoretical approach of aging that suggests that individuals might gradually turn feeble, following nearing their 70s; has opened the promise of novel medicines for age-related drop and illnesses.

Cambridge scientists concluded a mechanism that causes a fatal shift in hormone levels in old maturity level, raising the likelihood of bleeding malignancies and leukemia as well as reducing the ability of white blood cells to develop resistance, reported The Guardian.

Significant improvements, the experts claim, transpire in body parts across the system, from the epidermis to the nervous system, and might explain why individuals frequently mature decently for years prior to actually undergoing a relatively steep decrease in their 70s and 80s.

While according to Dr. Peter Campbell, corresponding author on the paper and director of the malignancy, ageing, and cancer stem cell project at Cambridge's Sanger Center, what was really intriguing with this research is that there could be a shared key mechanism at action. And the overall purpose is to halt or intervene in the aging phenomenon, although scientists foresee a potential to utilize this to quantify life expectancy.

Furthermore, aging is a complicated phenomenon, numerous researchers assume that the steady accumulation of alterations in tissues diminishes the body's natural capacity to operate effectively. The new study reveals such assumption is incorrect, or at finest partial, and mainly blames selfish genes that become dominant in old life.

Specialists analyzed leukocytes from infants through persons in their 70s and 80s in collaboration with academics from the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Laboratory.

Researchers discovered that persons around the age of 65 had a diversified populace of 20,000 to 200,000 distinct varieties of progenitor cells in their brain tissue that generated a broad spectrum of red and white blood cells.

The scenario was drastically distinct among the over-65s. Nearly half of their lymphocytes were derived from a mere 10 or 20 unique regenerative medicine, significantly lowering the richness of the individual's blood cells, with negative effects for their wellness.

The authors discussed in Naturethat while stem cells associated with blood production accumulate alterations through history, the majority of these alterations are innocuous.

As per the website Time To Time, as an individual is in their 30s and 40s, the proliferation benefit of the mutant progenitor cells is negligible, however when they attain retirement point of 70, these fast-growing lymphocytes begin to predominate erythrocytes creation.

The huge increase answers why there is a rapid shift in morbidity beyond the maturity level of 70, why withering strikes at that period. Faster-growing rbcs have been related to blood malignancies and leukaemia, although they potentially render patients more susceptible to illness and experimental interventions like radiotherapy.

"Researchers recognize that all of these facts extend to other body systems," Campbell remarked. The group plans to hunt for the similar system in epidermis to comprehend why creases and delayed injury repair occur with maturity.

According to Dr. Elisa Laurenti, an associate lecturer at the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and a co-senior investigator on the investigation, systemic inflammatory, tobacco, disease, and medication all could create cancer-causing growth factors.

Researchers anticipate that these variables will similarly hasten the reduction in blood stem cell variety connected with aging.

It's probable that there are other things that could delay this machine down as well. Researchers also have the interesting challenge of determining how these recently found variations influence blood function in the seniors so that we may discover how to reduce illness injury and ensure overall health, as per Flipboard.

Vertex and CRISPR Therapeutics Announce Acceptance of Late-Breaking Abstract for CTX001 at the 2022 Annual European Hematology Association (EHA)…

Posted: June 4, 2022 at 1:52 am

BOSTON & ZUG, Switzerland & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq: VRTX) and CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRSP) today announced new late-breaking clinical data accepted for oral presentation at the 2022 European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress. Vertex also announced three abstracts accepted for poster presentation at EHA.

Late-breaking abstract #LB2367 entitled Efficacy and Safety of A Single Dose of CTX001 For Transfusion-Dependent eta-Thalassemia and Severe Sickle Cell Disease, will be an oral presentation on Sunday, June 12 at 09:4511:15 CEST. The abstract from Vertex and CRISPR Therapeutics includes data on patients treated in CLIMB111 and CLIMB121 and followed in CLIMB131 with CTX001, now known as exagamglogene autotemcel (exa-cel). This abstract has been selected for the media briefing program and is therefore embargoed until Saturday, June 11 at 09:00 am CEST.

In addition, three real-world evidence and health economics abstracts from Vertex have been accepted for poster presentation.

The accepted abstracts are now available online on the EHA website.

Exacel is being investigated in multiple ongoing clinical trials as a potential one-time therapy for patients with either TDT or SCD.

About exagamglogene autotemcel (exa-cel)

Exacel, formerly known as CTX001, is an investigational, autologous, ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 geneedited therapy that is being evaluated for patients with TDT or SCD characterized by recurrent VOCs, in which a patients own hematopoietic stem cells are edited to produce high levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF; hemoglobin F) in red blood cells. HbF is the form of the oxygencarrying hemoglobin that is naturally present during fetal development, which then switches to the adult form of hemoglobin after birth. The elevation of HbF by exacel has the potential to alleviate transfusion requirements for patients with TDT and reduce painful and debilitating sickle crises for patients with SCD. Earlier results from these ongoing trials were published in The New England Journal of Medicine in January of 2021.

Based on progress in this program to date, exacel has been granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT), Fast Track, Orphan Drug, and Rare Pediatric Disease designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for both TDT and SCD. Exa-cel has also been granted Orphan Drug Designation from the European Commission, as well as Priority Medicines (PRIME) designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), for both TDT and SCD.

Among geneediting approaches being evaluated for TDT and SCD, exacel is the furthest advanced in clinical development.

About CLIMB111 and CLIMB121

The ongoing Phase 1/2/3 openlabel trials, CLIMB111 and CLIMB121, are designed to assess the safety and efficacy of a single dose of exacel in patients ages 12 to 35 years with TDT or with SCD, characterized by recurrent VOCs, respectively. The trials are now closed for enrollment. Patients will be followed for approximately two years after exacel infusion. Each patient will be asked to participate in CLIMB131, a longterm followup trial.

About CLIMB-131

This is a longterm, openlabel trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of exacel in patients who received exacel in CLIMB111, CLIMB121, CLIMB141 or CLIMB151. The trial is designed to follow participants for up to 15 years after exacel infusion.

About CLIMB141 and CLIMB151

The ongoing Phase 3 open-label trials, CLIMB141 and CLIMB151, are designed to assess the safety and efficacy of a single dose of exacel in patients ages 2 to 11 years with TDT or with SCD, characterized by recurrent VOCs, respectively. The trials are now open for enrollment and currently enrolling patients ages 5 to 11 years of age and will plan to extend to ages 2 to less than 5 years of age at a later date. Each trial will enroll up to 12 patients. Patients will be followed for approximately two years after infusion. Each patient will be asked to participate in CLIMB-131, a longterm followup trial.

About the GeneEditing Process in These Trials

Patients who enroll in these trials will have their own hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells collected from peripheral blood. The patients cells will be edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The edited cells, exacel, will then be infused back into the patient as part of an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), a process which involves a patient being treated with myeloablative busulfan conditioning. Patients undergoing HSCT may also encounter side effects (ranging from mild to severe) that are unrelated to the administration of exacel. Patients will initially be monitored to determine when the edited cells begin to produce mature blood cells, a process known as engraftment. After engraftment, patients will continue to be monitored to track the impact of exacel on multiple measures of disease and for safety.

About the VertexCRISPR Collaboration

Vertex and CRISPR Therapeutics entered into a strategic research collaboration in 2015 focused on the use of CRISPR/Cas9 to discover and develop potential new treatments aimed at the underlying genetic causes of human disease. Exacel represents the first potential treatment to emerge from the joint research program. Under an amended collaboration agreement, Vertex now leads global development, manufacturing and commercialization of exacel and splits program costs and profits worldwide 60/40 with CRISPR Therapeutics.

Studying Plant Reactions to Environmental Stressors Key to Sustainable Agriculture – Olive Oil Times

Posted: June 4, 2022 at 1:52 am

A team of researchers in Sweden gained new insights into the molecular mechanisms associated with plant reactions to environmental stressors, such as touching, pruning or infection.

The scientists explored the inner working of such reactions and the resulting behavior of the plant, discovering new crucial genetic factors which could impact crop yields.

The Lund University team reiterated that plants react to mechanical stimuli to better cope with specific environmental threats.

The study published in Science Advances explained that mechanical stimulation triggers rapid gene expression changes and affects plant appearance (thigmomorphogenesis) and flowering.

Thigmomorphogenesis is generated by repeated stimulation and includes significant modifications in the plant morphology, such as dwarfism, pithiness, altered mechanical properties of the stem, delayed flowering, improved anchorage strength of roots and reduced stomatal aperture.

Such changes tend to improve the ability of the plants to resist strong winds and improve their response to infection. In addition, these changes might strengthen resilience to cold, salinity, or drought.

The new research and afew other studies exploring similar plant reactions contribute to agrowing knowledge of mechanisms that scientists believe could be crucial to improving farming techniques.

Mechanostimulation has been gaining attention as apotential method for sustainable agriculture practices to improve food security, the researchers wrote.

However, the plant response to mechanical stimulation is very complex, as it depends on the intensity of mechanical load and frequency of exposures, they added. Understanding the molecular mechanism of plant mechanoperception and thigmomorphogenesis is imperative to apply this method for large-scale farming.

Previous research identified molecular mechanisms related to plant mechanoperception. Other studies noted the important relationship between jasmonic acid and touch signaling.

Despite many years of research on how transcriptional responses to mechanical stimulation in plants are controlled, only afew regulators have been identified and consistently validated, the researchers wrote.

Here, we used reverse genetics to further characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying touch signaling, they added.

For example, Olivier Van Aken, abiologist at Lund University, told ScienceAlert magazine: We exposed the plant thale cress to soft brushing, after which thousands of genes were activated, and stress hormones were released. We then used genetic screening to find the genes that were responsible for this process.

According to his colleague Essam Darwish, the study results solve ascientific mystery that has eluded the worlds molecular biologists for 30years.

We have identified acompletely new signaling pathway that controls aplants response to physical contact and touch, he added. Now the search for more paths continues.

The researchers believe that abetter understanding of those mechanisms might bring new opportunities for global agriculture, with climate change and conflicts threatening food security in many regions.

Given the extreme weather conditions and pathogen infections that climate change leads to, it is of utmost importance to find new ecologically responsible ways to improve crop productivity and resistance, Van Aken concluded.

The New Indian Express uses the term racial purity to make false claims about research on genetic ancestry, Rahul Gandhi furthers the propaganda -…

Posted: June 4, 2022 at 1:52 am

The New Indian Express (TNIE) had recently published a report which claimed that the Central Cultural Ministry is going to study Racial Purity of Indians. It talked about the Ministry of Culture looking forward to acquiring state-of-the-art DNA profiling kits and machines to trace the genetic history and trace the purity of races in India.

The Purity of Races angle in the article comes from the quote of Prof. Vasant Shinde, who serves as the adjunct professor at the National Institute of Advanced Studies in Bengaluru. Shinde notes that his team wants to study the mutation and mixing of genes that has happened in the last 10,000 years. While genetic mutation talks about the interaction of Indians with other populations of the world, studying the same will give us a clear-cut idea of our genetic history.

In the TNIE article, the news of the investigation to trace the genetic history of the Indian population was conflated with researchers studying the purity of races in India. While the concept of race remains purely a social concept and has no biological basis, purity here meant tracing the origins of DNA haplogroups among the Indian population. The deliberate contestation of the two led quite a stir among readers who were perplexed at the unscientific claims of the article. Soon, The Ministry of culture categorically dismissed the article as misleading.

However, it was for Congress MLA Rahul Gandhi to quote the report that was already labelled factually incorrect and to go on indirectly connect the dots with Hitlers racist policies in Nazi Germany. While tracing genetic ancestry had nothing to do with racial purity, Rahul Gandhi saw an opportunity to tag the article and score a political goal. By tagging the misleading piece from TNIE which could have sentimental repercussions and fan polarization in the society, Gandhi wrote on Twitter, The last time a country had a culture ministry studying racial purity, it didnt end well. India wants job security & economic prosperity, not racial purity, Prime Minister.

The Culture Ministry took note of the article in Morning Standard edition of TNIE on 28th May and termed it as misleading, mischievous and contrary to facts. The proposal is not related to establishing genetic history and trace the purity of races in India as alluded to in the article, it said. The statement noted that while the proposal by the Anthropological Survey of India (AnSI) is being examined under merits, it only deals with upgrading the existing DNA lab in Kolkata to next-generation sequencing facilities for certain ongoing projects.

Even after the Ministry of Culture dismissed the report for being factually incorrect, Rahul Gandhi went on to sensationalise the fake news to capitalise on the charged sentiment against the alleged research on racial purity. Central Minister for Culture, G Kishan Reddy lashed out at Gandhi in a tweet saying, Prior to Shri Gandhis tweet (probably from somewhere abroad), the Ministry of Culture, GoI had already flagged this article as misleading. Is he oblivious to this or has he intentionally chosen to further propagate such fake news?

Noted Genetic Scientist Neeraj Rai has lashed out at The New Indian Express for deliberatively publishing a misleading article. Describing the article as mischievous, he said he is upset about his research being described as studying racial purity. DNA research has great potential for improving our understanding of human health and history and should not be used to support discriminatory ideas, he added.

Rai, who heads the ancient DNA Lab at the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences, Govt. of India, criticised Rahul Gandhi for his blatant attempt at politicising a scientific investigation. He wrote tagging Rahul Gandhi, Racial purity is not a thing and race is not a biologically supported context. It has been a tool for politicians to propagate racism and should not be conflated with genetic ancestry.

Author and economist Sanjeev Sanyal, who has written several books on Indian history and geography, has noted that this is a classic case of deliberately misleading a scientific study. Archaeo-genetics is a well-established field and attempts to trace the human journey. If anything it establishes that there is no such thing as pure race. Indeed, we are not even a pure species, he wrote.

Author and Scientist Anand Ranganathan, who teaches molecular biology at the Jawaharlal Nehru University asserted that Race is not a biological concept but a social one. Race is not a scientific concept, purity even less so. Not only are 8 Billion Humans 99.97% genetically identical, but the modern Human genome is also but a mishmash of primate, plant, bacterial, parasite, and viral DNA. he tweeted.

While the claims of the article and its purposeful politicization by Rahul Gandhi were criticised left, right and centre, this is not the only instance where a scientific study related to genetics was politicised. The Aryan Invasion Theory, which was used by Dravidian Politicians and leftist historians for decades to claim that the race of Aryans invaded/migrated to India between 2000 BCE and 1500 BCE, was debunked after new research proved that all claims of invasion by a white-skinned Aryan race have been without any scientific basis. DNA studies have established that not only do all people in the Indian subcontinent share a common ancestry, there have been migrations outwards from India, hinting at widespread trade and related migration.
