Pollution Down, Longevity Up

Posted on by

We love coming across good news about health here at ThirdAge! Research led by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health showed that declining air pollution levels continue to improve life expectancy in the United States. The study is published online the journal Epidemiology.

A release from the university notes that the investigators looked at the effects on health of fine particulate matter, small particles of 2.5 micrometers or less in diameterreferred to as PM2.5. Numerous studies have shown associations between acute and chronic exposure to fine particle air pollution and cardiopulmonary disease and mortality. Studies have also shown that reductions in air pollution are associated with reductions in adverse health effects and improved life expectancy.

According to the release, air pollution has been declining steadily in the U.S. since 1980 but the rate has slowed in the years since 2000. The HSPH researchers wanted to know whether the relatively smaller decreases in PM2.5 levels since 2000 are still improving life expectancy. The answer turned out to be an encouraging yes. The study's results showed that a decrease of 10 micrograms per cubic meter in the concentration of PM2.5 during the period 2000 to 2007 was associated with an average increase in life expectancy of 0.35 years in 545 U.S. counties.

The current study followed a 2009 paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine by some of the same authors that found that reduced air pollution was associated with increased life expectancy in 211 urban counties. This time they looked at more recent data, more than two-and-a-half times as many counties, and included both rural and urban areas. The findings showed that there's a stronger association between declining air pollution and increased life expectancy in more urban, densely populated areas than in rural areas. The results also suggested that reduced levels of air pollution may be more beneficial to women than to men.

Study: Education extends longevity — except for Black males

3rd December 2012 0 Comments

By Barbara Peters-Smith Contributing Writer

SAN DIEGO (Special from Sarasota Herald-Tribune/New America Media) The human longevity bonanza that gives newborns today three decades more of life expectancy than they would have had a century ago appears to have no real stopping point.

Now researchers are trying to determine how U.S. society should change to accommodate so many longer, healthier lifespans, and why one group of white Americans does not seem to be benefiting from the trend.

Published in the August issue of Health Affairs and reported widely in the media, the researchers study found that while everybody else is living longer, non-Hispanic white women without high school diplomas have actually lost five years of life expectancy and their male counterparts lost three years.

The More Educated Doing Better, Less Educated Doing Worse

The MacArthur Foundation Network on Aging in Society, which produced the report, is now pursuing questions arising from this finding including the stunning impact education has on longevity, for everybody except African-American males.

The idea that subgroups of the population dont all experience the same longevity has been known for a long time, said the studys lead author, S. Jay Olshansky, at the Gerontological Society of Americas recent annual meeting in San Diego.

But until the 15 members of the network attempted to map the U.S. society of the future, no one had looked beyond the three basic divisions of education levels: 12 years of school or less, bachelors degree or less, and post-graduate study.

One of the things we did was break down this 12-and-under subgroup into those that had a high school education and those that didnt make it that far, Olshansky said, and thats when we saw something we didnt expect to see.

New method for creating long-lived stem cells used for bone replacement

New Rochelle, NY, December 4, 2012Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) can develop into bone cells and are useful for tissue engineering and regeneration. However, when grown in the laboratory they quickly lose their ability to continue dividing and they die. A method for genetically engineering hMSCs so they become immortal and still retain their ability to become bone cells is described in an article published in BioResearch Open Access, a bimonthly peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the BioResearch Open Access website at http://www.liebertpub.com/biores.

D.S. Bischoff, N.S. Makhigani, and D.T. Yamaguchi, Veterans Administration Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System and The David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles, inserted a gene called human telomerase (TERT) into hMSCs. The authors provide evidence to support the ability of human TERT to enhance the growth capacity of hMSCs in "Constitutive Expression of Human Telomerase Enhances the Proliferation Potential of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells." They demonstrate that they were able to produce a stable hMSC cell line that can be grown in culture through repeated cell divisions and that the stem cells can differentiate into osteoblasts for potential use in bone engineering applications.

"Generating a stable human mesenchymal stem cell line that retains osteoblastic and adipogenic potential has important benefits for bone engineering studies, particularly those which require a large number of cells," says Editor-in-Chief Jane Taylor, PhD, MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

When Science and Religion Agree
This is my take on the primate form and how it is a more refined product of prolonged life on this planet as land mammals. My latest theory is that we (humans) did not come from the same early "primordial soup" as all other beings on this planet. The idea is that we came long after (soon after primates formed) as a DNA "alien" (non-Earth born) strand in the form of a bacteria or other single celled organism (As the Matrix put it; "a virus") from a more recent comet collision like that in the Yucatan peninsula - Hence the birth of the Mayans and others who seem to have come from nowhere but biologically share an early primate ancestor before modern apes. So, we were not "chimps", per sé, but we changed the DNA make up of the Great Apes #39; ancestor to branch off from all the other primates to form humans. So far, this makes sense to me... http://www.panspermia.org http://www.abc.net.auFrom:GreenTreeNymphViews:1 0ratingsTime:08:45More inEducation

Understanding the significance of the structure of DNA is, as Francis Crick put it, to understand the "secret of life". This is a very important lecture providing a basis for much of the rest of this course and an understanding how life works. The first part of this lecture provides a perspective from atoms to cell biology as a basis for life on this planet. The second part shows how the information for life in DNA results in the proteins that control how life functions. From their original paper published in NATURE in 1953, Watson and Crick wryly wrote, "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." This lecture also describes how biological information is copied. What is life?From:Albert KauschViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:39:52More inEducation

The Staby® Technology from Delphi Genetics Efficiently Applied To DNA-Vaccine

Posted on by

CHARLEROI, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

During the inauguration of its new building, the Belgian Biotech Company Delphi Genetics SA announced that the first antibiotic-free DNA vaccine using the Staby technology was efficiently tested in vivo. Together with academic and Biotech key-players, Delphi Genetics is participating to the DNAVAC project funded by the Walloon Region (BioWin project). The aim of the project is to develop and produce antibiotic-free DNA vaccines targeting veterinary diseases. As a model, the consortium developed a DNA vaccine against the Aujezsky virus the causative agent of pseudo-rabies.

This virus was selected as it causes systematically an acute and lethal disease in susceptible species, thereby providing an excellent model to test the efficacy of a vaccine candidate. The results of the challenge performed by Dr Anca Reschner are very clear: all vaccinated animals using the Staby vectors were resistant to the lethal Aujeszky virus. said Prof. Alain Vanderplasschen from the University of Lige (Immunology-Vaccinology).

Cdric Szpirer PhD, Delphi Genetics co-Founder and CEO, explained: This is the first real DNA vaccine produced using the Staby technology. Several DNA vectors have been made in the past to generate production of antibodies, but this is the first time that in vivo tests were performed in order to evaluate efficiency against a disease. All production steps of the vaccine were performed efficiently avoiding completely the use of antibiotic-resistance genes as recommended by regulatory authorities (FDA, USDA, EMA). These results validate the use of Staby outside the field of protein production.

Indeed, a few weeks ago, on October, 8 Delphi Genetics announced a broad licensing agreement with a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, for the use of the StabyExpress technology to produce proteins in the areas of human and animal health. The same technology was licensed previously to Sanofi-Pasteur (2009) and GSK (2010) for production of proteins used in human vaccines.

As announced on January, 30, 2012, the DNAVAC project involves a consortium including Eurogentec SA, another Belgian Biotech company (part of Kaneka) in charge of large scale DNA production and purification, and two universities: the Catholic University of Louvain in charge of pharmaceutical and toxicity studies associated with the project and the University of Lige in charge of vaccinology and veterinary aspects.

About Delphi Genetics SA

Founded at the end of 2001, Delphi Genetics SA develops technologies for genetic engineering and protein expression using unique expertise in the domain of plasmid stabilisation systems. Since 2004, Delphi Genetics has been marketing innovative kits and services for researchers. Some of these kits contain the Staby technology that has since been licensed for industrial applications (see above). Indeed, the Staby technology can be applied to any industrial DNA or protein production process that involves bacterial fermentation. Delphi Genetics is involved in several research projects including adaptation of the technology to yeast and mammalian cells.

DNA Reveals the Last 20 Ethiopian Lions Are Genetically Distinct

Posted on by

Every day 20 unusual lions greet visitors at a tiny animal park in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. These lions, which have spent generations in captivity, are not like most African lions (Panthera leo leo). For one thing, they are slightly smaller than the wild lions found elsewhere on the continent. For another, the males carry distinctive black manes that extend from their shoulders to their stomachs and are much darker than those sported by other lions. And finally, new research reveals that these rare lions also have unique DNA, although not enough to declare them a separate species or subspecies.

I think they are genetically distinct enough to justify conservation efforts, says Michael Hofreiter, professor of evolutionary biology and ecology at the University of York in England and one of the authors of a study about the Ethiopian lions DNA that was published in the October European Journal of Wildlife Research. The research team came to its conclusions after running DNA tests on 15 of the zoos 20 lions, which revealed that the lions possess both microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA that is distinct from other African lions. (Because the five remaining lions were all juvenile progeny of the others, they were not tested.)

Hofreiter says these animals are not only genetically different but also phenotypically unique, indicating that their behavior is different from other lions. If any lions like them still exist in the wild, they probably occur in open forest habitat, rather than in savanna landscapes, he says.

The lions at the zoo all descend from a collection owned by Haile Selassie, the emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974 and the messiah of the Rastafarian movement. Selassie founded the zoo in 1948 with five males and two femalesanimals reportedly captured in southwestern Ethiopia, although no evidence backs up their exact source. Luckily, despite the low founder population, Hofreiter says neither the DNA nor the appearance of the animals shows any signs of inbreeding.

In a University of York press release, lead author Susann Bruche, who conducted the research with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, but is now with Imperial College London, echoed the need for preserving these lions singular genetics. A great amount of genetic diversity in lions has most likely already been lost, largely due to human influences. Every effort should be made to preserve as much of the lions genetic heritage as possible.

The authors have called for renewed efforts to conserve this one-of-a-kind population. The first step, they recommend, is establishing a formal captive breeding program. At the moment they are hardly bred because of a lack of space, Hofreiter says. He reports that a new zoo is being built nearby that will give the animals significantly more room. It will have the possibility to keep two larger groups and allow the lions to live in more natural groups than is currently the case. The Leipzig Zoo, which also contributed to the DNA study, is consulting on the construction of the new zoo.

The current zoo is hardly sufficient for breeding efforts. The lions are kept in tiny cement and steel cages, with few opportunities for exercise or enrichment. Comments on TripAdvisor call the cages soul-killing and horrific. This 2011 video showcases the minimal conditions in which the lions live:

Conditions might be even worse behind the scenes. In 2006 the BBC reported that the zoo routinely poisoned lion cubs and sold their corpses to taxidermists because the institution lacked the money or space to care for the animals. Hofreiter discounted the report, although he points out that problems have existed. As far as we know, the story that cubs were killed is wrong, but it is true that previously cubs sometimes died soon after birth because of inadequate keeping conditions in the old zoo, and we cannot exclude that some of these were sold for preparation, he says.

In addition to the new zoo and, it is hoped, a better breeding program, the researchers plan to follow up on rumors that more of these rare lions might still be in remote parts of the country. There are areas in Ethiopia where these lions probably still exist in the wild, so we aim in the long run to obtain field samples and genetically type these, Hofreiter says. The political situation is not simple, however, and for all strands of research we would require more money than we have currently available.

First Photo of DNA

Posted on by

Fifty-nine years after James Watson and Francis Crick deduced the double-helix structure of DNA, a scientist has captured the first direct photograph of the twisted ladder that props up life.

Enzo Di Fabrizio, a physics professor at the Magna Graecia University in Catanzaro, Italy, snapped the picture using an electron microscope.

Previously, scientists had only seen DNA's structure indirectly. The double-corkscrew form was first discovered using a technique called X-ray crystallography, in which a material's shape is reconstructed based on how X-rays bounce after they collide with it.

But Di Fabrizio and his colleagues developed a plan to bring DNA out of hiding. They built a nanoscopic landscape of extremely water-repellant silicon pillars. When they added a solution that contained strands of DNA into this scene, the water quickly evaporated and left behind cords of bare DNA that stretched like tightropes between the tiny mesas.

They then shone beams of electrons through holes in the silicon bed, and captured high-resolution images of the illuminated molecules.

Di Fabrizio's images actually show a thread of several interwoven DNA molecules, as opposed to just two coupled strands. This is because the energy of the electrons used would be enough to destroy an isolated double helix, or a single strand from a double helix.

But with the use of more sensitive equipment and lower energy electrons, Di Fabrizio thinks that snapshots of individual double helices will soon be possible, reports New Scientist.

Molecules of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, store the genetic instructions that govern all living organisms' growth and function.

Di Fabrizio's innovation will allow scientists to vividly observe interactions between DNA and some of life's other essential ingredients, such as RNA (ribonucleic acid). The results of Di Fabrizio's work were published in the journal NanoLetters.

DNA may help scientists find ‘dark matter,’ the glue that binds galaxies

Posted on by

That wonder molecule of life on Earth, DNA, is now being enlisted in the search for an exotic species zooming through the cosmos: dark matter.

As far back as the 1930s, astronomers watching distant galaxies saw that something was missing: There were not enough stars to account for the heavy gravity needed to whirl galaxies so quickly or smash them together so swiftly.

Graphic

Scientists cant see dark matter particles, but they think they may be able to capture evidence of them when they ping into other tiny things, like balls on a pool table. Previous ideas for capturing these interactions required huge spaces, but a group of scientists has come up with the idea for a detector that would fit on a large coffee table.
