Zi Ran looks into the exciting biology surrounding telomeres and their potential impact

The thread of never-ending life has always been a part of the canvas of myths and religion subsequently morphed seamlessly into everyday culture. Every religion and culture has their own telling of the tale. The Abrahamic religions have heaven, the Norse gods ate Iunns apples, the Greek gods ate ambrosia and drank nectar, the Taoists sought the elixir of life, and the medieval alchemists sought the philosophers stone. Though these ancient symbols may have been metaphoric, with current technology eternal youth feels to be almost within our grasp. With organisations like Google Calico, A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine), Human Longevity Inc and sponsors like Peter Thiel and Mark Zuckerberg, it seems as though humanity may finally taste that fountain of life.

To find immortality, one must understand mortality. Cells seemingly repair and divide without end, but they exhibit signs of ageing as well. The crux of the issue lies in the inherent structure of our genetic material, DNA. Human DNA is linear, so there must be two ends to the double helix. Every time DNA is replicated, information on the ends of the strands are lost. With increasing divisions, more and more information is lost to the point where the cell is no longer able to function cells senescence. Cells with this kind of DNA structure must have an extra layer of molecular protection which ensure many healthy divisions before their eventual death. These protective elements are called telomeres. Telomere research has been a hot topic within the anti-ageing community, as its length is directly correlated to longevity. These DNA aglets are extra pieces of DNA which cap on to the ends of the double helix strand and tightly wraps itself together to protect the genetic material both from chemical and mechanical damage. However, this method is not fool-proof. Telomeres also run out, and with time all cells eventually die.

The miracle of the fountain of life, if it exists at all, can only be found in the moment of conception. In embryos, the DNA is refreshed, and old used telomeres are extended. Embryonic cells are a rare type of cells which express telomerase, the only protein capable of extending the length of telomeres. These little molecular machines use RNA as a template to extend the depleted telomeres, elongating the lifespan of the cell. Telomerases are also expressed in some stem cells, which supply the body with red blood cells and repair large damages. As attractive as telomerases sound as a solution to age, their over-expression can also become a problem. Many tumours and cancer types use telomerase as a tool to extend their lifespan indefinitely, outliving their healthy counterparts and taking over the body. To fine-tune the activity of this protein such that humans achieve eternal life while escaping the potential over-proliferation of cells is something that has yet to be achieved.

The most important breakthrough of 2016?

Telomeres, all in all, may only be one piece of the longevity biochemical puzzle. Many other biological processes are affected by age, although the precise mechanisms remain shrouded in mystery. Mitochondria become less efficient, transport to and from the nucleus becomes much less regulated, proteins are misshapen more often, and the DNA racks up too many mutations to efficiently repair them. It looks as though humanity still has so much to learn in terms of mortality that the seemingly tiny gap to eternal life may actually be a journey of a thousand miles.

Once we understand the essentials of life, will eternity still be attractive? The underlying basis of all living things is maintenance of a dynamic equilibrium, meaning that balance is maintained through constant life and death. The confusion of age for life has been recorded since the time of the ancient Greeks. When Eos mistakenly asked on Tithonus behalf for immortality and not eternal youth, what she really obtained from Zeus was eternal torture. The ancient Homeric hymns only remember Tithonus as a withered old man with no strength to even sit up, certainly an anecdote to keep us grounded in our search

Sometimes buzz, hype, and a Instagram blitz happens for a reasonbecause said treatments are efficacious, effective, and safe. These are three the pros stand by.

Double-cleansing. Washing your face twicewith an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based oneis a trend. But for Whitney Bowe, a dermatologist in New York City, its just part of her anti-aging regimen. Double-cleansing can preserve collagen, she says. Sure, that sounds like a tall order, but Bowe uses a DIY oil cleanser to dissolve makeup easily without the rubbing that can age your skin. She even takes off her mascara with the oil so she doesnt have to tug on her lashestheyve gotten thinner with age, so they fall out more easily. Her recipe: two tablespoons of olive oil stirred into eight ounces of aloe vera water. She follows that with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser to finish the job.

Vampire facials. OK, doctors actually call them platelet-rich plasma injections, but youre probably more familiar with the Kardashian-popularized term. (In case you missed that episode: The treatment involves injecting extracts from a patients own blood back into her skin using tiny needles.) It seems bonkers/creepy, but injecting plasma-rich platelets, which are full of stem cells, could help build new collagen, says Marie Jhin, a dermatologist in San Francisco. And replacing collagen in your skin as you age is a continuous battle. She does the treatments on herself twice a year; Bowe does the same.

CoolSculpting. This device destroys fat cells with extreme coldin about an hour. The technique is called cryolipolysis, and it works best on small areas of fat, says Karyn Grossman, a dermatologist in Los Angeles. I was happy with my overall weight, but fat had accumulated around my upper back and one hip. Two cycles of CoolSculpting completely changed the way my dress fit for my sons bar mitzvah, she says.

If you remember only one thing from this story, remember this: Sunscreen is nonnegotiable. It helps prevent skin cancer, and people who wear it have 24 percent fewer signs of aging than those who dont, according to a study published in Annals of Internal Medicine . Dermatologists apply it every day, more than once, rain or shine. And they have a few things to say on the matter.

For sheer coverage: Too many sunscreens look obvious on skin of color. They dont blend in, or they make my skin look gray or purple, says Jeanine Downie, a dermatologistand an African-American womanin Montclair, New Jersey. Her solution: SkinMedica Total Defense + Repair Broad Spectrum SPF 34 Sunscreen . I wear it on my face, my neck, my ears, and the back of my hands every day, she says. Its very sheer, and I reapply it. For medium skin tones, Mona Gohara, a dermatologist in Danbury, Connecticut, who is Egyptian, says La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 30 soaks in very quickly and doesnt leave a chalky cast.

For lasting protection: Bowe and Gohara carry around the Colorescience Loose Mineral Foundation SPF 20 Powder Brush for touch-ups over makeup. It contains iron oxides, and a recent study showed that sunscreens with iron oxides prevent melasma better than formulas without them, says Gohara. Its really (really) important to know, however, that powders are supplements to, not replacements for, traditional sunscreen lotions and creams. Ellen Marmur, a dermatologist in New York City and a premelanoma survivor, applies a tinted formula with SPF, like Chanel Vitalumire Moisture-Rich Radiance Sunscreen Fluid Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 , each morningand then reapplies it over her makeup before going outside throughout the day. I do a lot of skin-cancer surgeries on the tops of the eyebrows, between the eyes, and around the nostrils, so Im careful to cover those spots, she says.

For the whole package: Every single dermatologist we talked to layers sunscreen over an antioxidant serum or cream. Thats key for neutralizing the free radicals from sunlight, pollution, and even heat that can slip through sunscreen, damage collagen, and set off pigment production in skin, says Bowe, who likes Olay Total Effects 7 in One Anti-Aging Moisturizer with vitamin E and green tea extract for her sensitive skin. I wear it at night, tooif you sleep in moisturizer, you wake up with more hydrated and plump skin. And that means fine lines are less noticeable the next day.

Snoop around a docs bathroom (nosy) and youll find three unlikely standbys.

Hydroquinone. This skin lightener is banned in Europe, and studies have shown it is carcinogenic in rats when ingested. But most American dermatologists are confident about its safety when its used topicallyso confident that they rely on it to fade their own dark spots. It can brighten even the most intractable pigmentation and works faster than anything else (in as little as two months). Jhin applies a prescription Obagi Nu-Derm product twice a day; Alicia Barba, a dermatologist in Miami, uses Melamix Skin Lightener & Blending Crme Hydroquinone USP 4% at night for two to four weeks three times a year to treat her melasma.

Compression socks. Theyre not exactly sexy, but Gohara gets four or five pairs at the drugstore at the beginning of pants season and wears them daily to prevent the varicose veins caused by standing all day.

More dermatologist-approved anti-aging tips:

Even dermatologists skin acts upthe difference is they know how to get it back in shape, pronto. For mild eczema flare-ups, Jessica Wu, a dermatologist in Los Angeles, heads to the health aisle for an Australian bee-pollen extract called propolis. Its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial and has been shown to help skin heal itself, she says. If thats not enough, then Ill use prescription cortisone.

Then there are the smart choices dermatologists make that have nothing to do with creams or lotions or unattractive hosiery.

They don't rub their eyes. The skin there will darken if youre a chronic rubber, says Nada Elbuluk, a dermatologist in New York City, who recommends putting a cool compress on the eyes whenever you feel the urge to rub. Grossman goes as far as sleeping in bendy glasses, called Swissflex glasses. Uncomfortable? Maybe. But they keep her sleeping on her back, which prevents her skin from creasing against her pillow (and eventually wrinkling).

They go to bed. Ive become neurotic about prioritizing sleep over an extra hour of iPad, says Gohara. When you dont sleep, your cortisol levels shoot up, which causes inflammation in the body. That can make skin conditions like acne and rosacea worse and, over time, lead to wrinkles.

They get physical. What I do with my body affects my skin almost as much as what I put on it, says Gohara. To that end, she does 20 to 30 minutes of high-intensity interval training every morning to enhance her circulation, reduce stress, and decrease the inflammation that causes aging.

WILMINGTON, NC, February 15, 2017 Testosterone therapy has now been shown to be beneficial for older men knocking down the long-held assertion that it was detrimental to their hearts. Men can now regain their youthful vitality and ease the symptoms that accompany low testosterone levels.

What is Testosterone Therapy?

Hypogonadism is a disease in which the body is unable to produce normal amounts of testosterone due to a problem with the testicles or with the pituitary gland that controls the testicles. The symptoms of low testosterone include: loss of bone density and muscle mass, increased body fat, osteoporosis, diminished sexual drive, erectile dysfunction, anemia, frailty, depression, and coronary disease. Testosterone therapy is a way for men to improve the signs and symptoms of this disease. By opting for testosterone therapy, men can increase the amount of testosterone in their body up to sufficient levels.

Is it harmful to heart patients?

In the past, it was assumed that testosterone therapy posed potential health risks to men, like heart attacks and strokes. However, this is not true according to the latest research. The researchers at Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute have presented a new study which deduces that testosterone therapy can help heart patients a great deal. The study shows that heart patients given testosterone therapy showed much better results than the patients not receiving the treatment.

The study further claims that the notion that testosterone therapy increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes is not correct. It discovered that heart patients who did not receive any testosterone therapy were 80% more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke than the ones who received the therapy.

How was the study conducted?

The study involved 755 male patients suffering from heart disease ranging in age from 58 to 78, and tested the patients in groups of three. Each group was given testosterone therapy in the form of a gel or by injections, and their heart conditions were monitored for possible effects.

The results of this study are a significant leap in medical history. It concludes that contrary to the popular belief that testosterone therapy harms a mans heart, the use of this therapy can be improved or prevent heart disease. This study will help define further medical strategies related to heart conditions and problems. Now older men with low testosterone levels can be treated without fear of causing heart problems and allow them to continue active lifestyles.

Overall, our study suggests that what is best for mens health is to keep testosterone levels balanced and within a normal range, said Dr. Connie Odom.

Metro MediSpa's Testosterone Therapy Benefits Men's Hearts - Satellite PR News (press release)

The idea that organisms can live longer, healthier lives by sharply reducing their calorie intake is not exactly new. Laboratory research has repeatedly demonstrated the anti-aging value of calorie restriction, often called CR, in animals from nematodes to ratswith the implication that the same might be true for humans.

In practice though, permanently reducing calorie intake by 25 to 50 percent or more sounds to many like a way to extend life by making it not worth living. Researchers have also warned that what works for nematodes or rats may not workand could even prove dangerousin humans, by causing muscle or bone density loss, for example.

But now two new studies appear to move calorie restriction from the realm of wishful thinking to the brink of practical, and perhaps even tolerable, reality. Writing in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of WisconsinMadison and the National Institute on Aging reported last month chronic calorie restriction produces significant health benefits in rhesus monkeysa primate with humanlike aging patternsindicating that CR mechanisms are likely translatable to human health. The researchers describe one monkey they started on a 30 percent calorie restriction diet when he was 16 years old, late middle age for this type of animal. He is now 43, a longevity record for the species, according to the study, and the equivalent of a human living to 130.

In the second study, published this week in Science Translational Medicine, a research team led by gerontologist Valter Longo at the University of Southern California (U.S.C.) suggests it is possible to gain anti-aging benefits without signing up for a lifetime of hunger. Instead, a fasting-mimicking diet, practiced just five days a month for three monthsand repeated at intervals as neededis safe, feasible and effective in reducing risk factors for aging and age-related diseases.

Some researchers, however, still find the calorie-restriction argument unpersuasive. Leslie Robert, a biochemist and physician at the University of Paris who was not involved in the two new studies, says pharmaceutical approaches offer greater anti-aging potential than inefficient and apparently harmful diets. The important thing, adds Luigi Fontana, a longevity researcher at the Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis who also was not involved in the new work, is if youre doing a healthy diet, exercising, everything good, without doing anything extreme, without making life miserable by counting every single calorie.

Rozalyn Anderson, a researcher in the Wisconsin study, does not necessarily disagree. Life is difficult enough without engaging in some bonkers diet, she says. We really study this as a paradigm to understand aging. Were not recommending people do it. The combined results in the Nature Communications paper show aging is malleable in primates, she explains, and that aging itself presents a reasonable target for intervention. Whereas conventional medicine views aging as a fight against cancer, cardiovascular issues, neural degeneration and other diseases, she adds, calorie restriction delays the aging and vulnerability. Instead of going after diseases one at a time, you go after the underlying vulnerability and tackle them all at once.

Despite her reservations about recommending CR, Anderson praised the work of the research team in the Science Translational Medicine study for pushing this forward for possible application in clinics. In that study, test subjects followed a carefully designed 50 percent calorie restricted diet (totaling about 1,100 calories on the first day and 70 percent (about 700 calories) on the next four days, then ate whatever they wanted for the rest of the month.

Longo, the gerontologist at U.S.C., says the underlying theory of the on-again/off-again approach is that the regenerative effects of the regimen occur not so much from the fasting itself as from the recovery afterward. By contrast, long-term, uninterrupted calorie restriction can lead to the sort of negative effects seen in extreme conditions like anorexia.

The calorie-restricted diet in Longos study was 100 percent plant-based and featured vegetable soups, energy bars, energy drinks and a chip snack as well as mineral and vitamin supplements. It included nutrients designed to manipulate the expression of genes involved in aging-related processes, Longo explains. (Longo and U.S.C. are both owners of L-Nutra, the company that manufactures the diet. But he says he takes no salary or consulting fees from the company and has assigned his shares to a nonprofit organization established to support further research.)

Even the five-day-a-month calorie restriction regimen was apparently a struggle for some test subjects, resulting in a 25 percent dropout rate. But health benefits in the form of decreased body mass and better levels of glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol, along with other factors, showed up after the third month and persisted for at least three monthseven after subjects had returned full-time to a normal diet. Notably, given concerns about other forms of calorie restriction, lean muscle mass remained unchanged.

The benefits were greater for people who were obese or otherwise unhealthy, Longo says. But those individuals might also need to repeat the five-day regimen as often as once a month to the point of recovery, he adds, whereas individuals who are already healthy and athletic might repeat it just twice a year.

Neither of the two new studies argues the benefits of CR necessarily add up to a longer life. Longevity in humans is still an unpredictable by-product of our myriad variations in individual biology, behavior and circumstance. The objective, according to researchers, is merely to make the healthy portion of our lives last longer.

Posted on Feb. 10, 2017, 6 a.m. in Thyroid Hormone Stem Cell Stem Cell Research

Researchers have identified a way to engineer new thyroid cells from stem cells, which could lead to new thyroid disease treatments.

A recent report published in the medical journal Stem Cell Reports, sheds light on breakthrough research regarding the use of thyroid cells derived from stem cells for new therapies. Scientists at Boston University's School Medicine led the work. They have pinpointed a means of efficiently engineering thyroid cells by way of stem cells that will eventually help analyze and treat thyroid diseases.

Why the Thyroid is so Important

The thyroid is a gland positioned in the mid-section of the lower neck. When this gland does not function as designed, it wreaks all sorts of havoc on the body. Thyroid diseases occur when the gland is hyperactive and generates excessive hormones (hyperthyroidism) or generates too few hormones (hypothyroidism). Though the thyroid is fairly diminutive, it generates hormones that extend to tissues, cells and organs throughout the body to maintain a regulated metabolism. The metabolism is vitally important as it determines the rate at which the human body produces energy through oxygen and nutrients.

It is estimated that about 20 million individuals in the United States are plagued by a form of thyroid disease. A whopping 60 percent of these cases are never diagnosed. Unfortunately, thyroid disorders are life-long or chronic conditions that often prove quite challenging to manage. When thyroid diseases are undiagnosed, they can lead to particularly nasty health conditions ranging from osteoporosis to cardiovascular diseases and even infertility. Medical professionals are not completely certain as to what causes thyroid diseases.

Details About the Discovery

The breakthrough described above was discovered after studies were performed on mice. Stem cells are valued as they can mature into an array of different cell types. The researchers referenced above have determined how to transform the genetically modified stem cells from mice into thyroid cells. They determined there is a specific window during cell development to perform the transformation in an efficient manner. The group switched the Nkx2-1 gene off/on while guiding the lab-cultured stem cells through development stages. When the gene was on, most stem cells were transformed to thyroid cells in a small period of time.

What it Means for the Future

This discovery will likely allow for new research models and breakthrough treatments for thyroid diseases. It is anticipated that new thyroid cells for humans will eventually be engineered so medical professionals can better study and mitigate thyroid diseases. The principle might even apply to additional cell types to boot.

On behalf of the entire Pardee Hospital team, I would like to congratulate Dr. Miller on this outstanding achievement, said Dr. David Ellis, FACOG, chief medical officer of Pardee Hospital. Not only is Dr. Miller a talented vascular surgeon, he is also an accomplished author and scholar. We are fortunate to have him as part of the Pardee family.

Over the course of the next year, fellows will undertake their research projects onsite in the History of Medicine Division of the Library, primarily in the Michael E. DeBakey archives which reflect the vast range of subjects from DeBakeys professional career from surgery to health care policy, medical libraries and expanding access to medical information, medical technology to medical ethics, military medicine to veteran health, humanitarianism to international diplomacy in the medical arena. The librarys DeBakey archives contain correspondence, administrative records, diaries, transcripts, publications, speeches, conference and awards material, subject files, photographs, and audiovisual media, which reflect the vast expanse of DeBakeys life, achievements, and interests as a world-renowned medical statesman, innovator, and champion of humanitarianism and life-long learning.

Miller practices at vascular surgery at Pardee and provides both diagnostic and therapeutic vascular imaging services. He performs procedures on both an inpatient and outpatient basis at Pardee Hospital, as well as in the Vascular Surgery office. Miller treats a wide variety of vascular conditions, from varicose veins to aneurysms to lower extremity arterial disease. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

Miller earned his medical degree from the Ohio State University College of Medicine. He completed an internship and residency in surgery at the Ohio State University Medical Center. He then completed a fellowship in vascular and endovascular surgery at the University of California at San Francisco and was a fellow of the university's Gastrointestinal Research Laboratory. His research has been published in numerous medical publications.

He is the author of "The Making of a Surgeon in the 21st Century," which is in its third U.S. edition and has been translated into several languages, and "The Big Z: The Life of Robert M. Zollinger, M.D.," which has been nominated for the Welch Medal, awarded to the most outstanding book on American medical history. Miller is also a Scholar-in-Residence at the Ohio State Universitys Medical Cultural Heritage Center.

Dr. LightCosmetic surgery and hormone replacement address the same issue from different vantage points. As such, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, is a powerful tool that should be incorporated into all successful cosmetic practices, according to Kevin Light, DO, MBA, a cosmetic surgeon and age management specialist in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Light presented Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and the Cosmetic Surgery Practice yesterday at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgerys (AACSs) 2017 annual scientific meeting in San Diego, Calif. Dr. Light, author of the book OutSmart Aging, tells Cosmetic Surgery Times that, from a cosmetic perspective, aging negatively impacts the skin, with thinning, wrinkling, age spots and pigmentation, as well as loss of elasticity, resiliency and glow. Cosmetic aging results in soft tissue volume loss, in the face, breast and abdomen. It also results in bone loss, or shrinkage of the skull and mandible; hair loss, weight gain and fat redistribution. Hormone loss causes impaired wound healing and immune function, which can impact cosmetic surgery patients. Hormone loss also results in quality of life issues, from energy and sleep, to concentration, memory, libido and sexual function, he says. BHRT can halt or reverse all of this. This is no longer 'magic' and is well documented in the literature, Dr. Light says. From a business perspective, bioidentical hormone therapy is a $15 billion business and trending positively, Dr. Light says. Patients are aware of it and are demanding it. Several early adopter plastic and cosmetic surgeons around the country already offer it, Dr. Light says. BHRT is a powerful adjunct to age management and enhances patient 'stickiness' for the cosmetic surgery practice. The business model is easy and can be delegated to others. It presents incredible cross-sell opportunities.

BHRT: A match made in anti-aging - ModernMedicine

Weve long been fascinated with the ideas of immortality and eternal youth. Around 220 BCE, Emperor Shihuangdi searched for the elixir of life. Juan Ponce de Len searched for the Fountain of Youth in the 1500s, and in 1890, Oscar Wildes Dorian Gray sold his soul for a perpetually pretty face. The Methuselah Mouse Prize, an award granted to teams that engineer older and healthier mice, took the fantasy out of our myths and put it into our laboratories.

Recently, a controversial $8,000 blood transfusion treatment shows that its also moved into our clinics.

Anti-aging technology isnt limited to groundbreaking medicine.

The provider, Jesse Karmazin, based the idea on a study that suggested aging in mice could be reversed, after old mice that were given blood from young ones for four weeks showed changes in hallmark signs of getting older. Participants can pay for an infusion of young peoples blood and plasma in the hopes itll rejuvenate their own systems.The study itself is unreliable, the treatment unproven, and the cost toclients is astronomical. Karmazin himself isnt a medical professional, but an entrepreneur who sees anti-aging research as a market opportunity. The business has the potential to garner $4.8 million.

Anti-aging technology isnt limited to groundbreaking medicine. It lines pharmacies and makeup counters. Wrinkle creams, skin repair formulas, vitamins, Viagra; these are small but concrete examples of the money poured into researching, packaging, and selling youth.Our aversion to aging has enabled the commercialization of immortality, despite its impossibility.

Given our current enthusiasm for staving it off, we may not realize age didnt always terrify us, perhaps because we didnt live long enough for it to.

Senectitude in 1481 originally meant old age; senescence was used in 1695 to mean growing old; and senile was used in 1661 to signify what was suited to old age. The term senility was used in 1791 to mean a state of being old or infirm due to old age. But by 1848 senile meant weakness, and by the late nineteenth century it indicated a pathological state. The term has taken on greater medical negative connotations ever since.

As our lives have grown longer, life span and health span have become crucially different. Although age brings benefitsfamilies, wisdom, stabilitythe accompanying physical degeneration, and its correlating limitations, make us hyperfocused on old ageas the signpost for the approaching end of life.

The fixation on defeating death has had the sideeffect of vilifying age. John A. Vincent writes, science as culture misdirects the way in which old age is understood. Rather than valuing life in all its diversity, including its final phase, it leads to misguided devotion of resources to solving the problem of death. The focus on biological failure sets up a cultural construction of old age which leads to the low esteem in which it is currently held.

Our desire for youth isnt just a fear of dying; its the desire to keep a life worth living, and for us, that means immortality is not merely living to 150. It means living to 150, perpetually age 30.

Marketing Immortality - JSTOR Daily

That is according to newly released data from the Global Wellness Institute. The non-profit, focused on research, innovation, and advocacy, held an event in New York City this week to launch its 2017 Global Wellness Economy Monitor report. And Cosmetics Design was there.

Katherine Johnston and Ophelia Yeung, senior research fellows from the institute, presented the new data to a packed room at Steelcase headquarters.

Other speakers at the event included Susie Ellis, chairman and CEO of the Global Wellness Institute, who spoke on trends; and Mehmet Oz, surgeon, professor at Columbia University, and television personality, and Anjan Chatterjee, chair of neurology at Pennsylvania Hospital and author of The Aesthetic Brain, who both shared remarks to contextualize the data.

Data mining

The Global Wellness Institute gathers data on five key wellness industry sectors: wellness tourism, wellness lifestyle real estate, the spa business, thermal / mineral springs, and workplace wellness. And to round out its report, the instituteaggregates and analyses data from outside sources on five other sectors: beauty and anti-aging; healthy eating, nutrition, and weight loss; prevention and personalized medicine and public health; fitness and mind-body; and complementary and alternative medicine.

Data in the report reflects the global wellness economy of 2015. As the institutes report explains, the wellness economy encompasses industries that enable consumers to incorporate wellness activities and lifestyles into their daily lives.

That year, workplace wellness accounted for $43bn of this economy. Thermal / mineral springs were $51bn. The spa industry came in at $99bn. Wellness lifestyle real estate accounted for $119bn. Complementary and alternative medicine was $199bn. Prevention and personalized medicine and public health came in at $534bn, the fitness and mind-body sector at $542bn. And, wellness tourism was $563bn of the economy.

Moving up in value, healthy eating, nutrition, and weight loss accounted for $648bn, while beauty and anti-aging outperformed all other sectors with $999bn.

Looking ahead

While the team at The Global Wellness Institute sees significant potential for growth and cooperation among the ten sectors, the wellness economy also faces significant challenges going forward: growing income inequality and divergent access to wellness, the need for evidence-based wellness, and the tension between mandated wellness and personal freedom, as the report explains it.

The institutes full report is available online here .

Posted on Feb. 2, 2017, 6 a.m. in Inflammation Genetic Research GI-Digestive

Large Finnish genetic study of over ten million DNA variations reveals new possibilities for treatments of a wide range of inflammatory diseases.

A study conducted by Finnish researchers has pinpointed possible new treatments for an array of inflammatory diseases. The research was conducted by a team at the University of Turku's Research Centre of Applied and Preventive Cardiovascular Medicine. These scientists studied more than 10 million DNA variations and identified new links between inflammation tracers and the human genome. The study determined that there are several new possibilities for the treatments of diseases like coeliac disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis and even some forms of cancer.

An Explanation of Cytokines

Cytokines played a critical role in the above referenced study. These vitally important proteins move throughout the bloodstream to regulate inflammation reactions. Alterations in their mode of operation have been tied to all sorts of inflammatory diseases. The study was centered on an investigation of the connections between 41 unique cytokines as well as growth factors and approximately 10.7 million variations of DNA. The scientists' aim was to identify specific processes at the molecular level that spur a heightened risk for the onset of inflammatory diseases. Gaining an understanding of these processes allows for a more effective treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Scientists found that the medicine daclizumab that was formerly used to treat organ rejection reactions can also serve to treat Crohn's disease and multiple sclerosis. A bump in MIP1b-cytokine activity also functions as a treatment method against Behcet disease and coeliac disease. Additional clinical studies are necessary to verify the observations. Additional Study Details

The data relied upon for the above-referenced study was comprised of long-term research information compiled to span an array of risk factors for heart-related diseases amongst Finns. This data is especially valuable as it is highly unique compared to other data sets used across the globe for similar studies.

Study participants were monitored from childhood all the way to adulthood. The year 1980 was used as a baseline. Over 3,500 people were studied in a cross-sectional manner. Subsequent visits occurred in 1983, 1986, 2001, 2007 and 2011. Surveys pertaining to cardiovascular health were conducted at 5-year intervals from 1972 to 2012 to gauge heart-related risk factors across Finland. All-in-all, nearly 54,000 subjects between the ages of 25 and 74 partook in the surveys.

Evidence Stemming From Human Genetics Hastens Medical Development

Tech developments have allowed for the practice of studies pertaining to genome-wide association for the past 100 years. Such studies took a close look at the millions of variations in DNA and their impact for each of the properties studied. These research efforts have identified more than 100 genomic loci that impact the possibility of ulcerous colitis or Crohn's disease developing. However, the exact molecular process spurring the heightened risk is unclear.

Studies focusing on genome-wide association have been initiated in which response variables molecules are used to mediate the risk of disease within the blood stream. Examples include the use of growth factors and cytokines rather than using the diseases themselves.

The Quest for Safe, Affordable and Effective Medicine

Drug candidates in which evidence from human genetics proves their effectiveness stand a much better chance to be approved within clinical studies. These studies test for safety as well as effectiveness. It is estimated that nearly 800 million dollars will be necessary to develop a market for one medicinal molecule. However, genetics research stands to provide considerable savings in the context of medical development.
