The sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus, which carpets the Caribbean seafloor, may hold the key to eliminating the senescent cells that survive cancer therapy. A collaboration led by Spanish scientists across several international research centers has discovered a new type of toxin that selectively eliminates senescent cancer cells.

During aging, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) undergo functional decline affecting their ability to regenerate the hematopoietic system and support lymphoid cell production. This functional decline contributes to some aging-related diseases. Moreover, aging is associated with biomechanical changes in HSCs, including alterations in nuclear envelope tension and nuclear mechanical integrity and mechanotransduction. However, it remains unclear whether aging of somatic stem cells can be prevented by targeting changes in nuclear mechanosignaling.
Siemens Healthineers AG became the latest company to sign a licensing agreement with Alzpath Inc. to use its pTau217 antibody in the development of a blood-based diagnostic assay for Alzheimer's disease. Alzpath previously signed deals with the likes of Roche AG and Beckman Coulter Diagnostics Inc. to use its pTau217 antibody to create diagnostic tests based for early detection and monitoring of Alzheimer's.
ADEL Inc. closed a year-end licensing deal worth up to $1.04 billion with Sanofi SA for ADEL-Y01, a specific tau-targeting Alzheimer’s disease drug candidate in a U.S. phase I study.
Researchers from Stanford University have reported that inhibiting the enzyme 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) promoted cartilage regeneration in mouse models of osteoarthritis due to either aging or tissue injury. An oral version of the inhibitor that the team used is in a clinical trial for sarcopenia; it improved muscle mass and strength in preclinical studies. However, the mechanism by which 15-PDGH inhibition works appears to differ in the two conditions.
