THIS MONTH:

Our collaboration with University of Pennsylvania researcher Carrie Adelia Sims, 10 nonfiction books on aging chosen by our staff, and a top aging lab is bringing the science of reproductive longevity out of the dark ages.

Scientists We Work With:
Carrie Sims

Strengthening our ties to the broader research community is part of Elysium’s pursuit of breakthroughs that improve human health and slow aging. This month, we’re highlighting our work with Carrie Adelia Sims, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor of surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Presbyterian Medical Center of Philadelphia. Sims’ lab at UPenn is investigating mitochondrial dysfunction in late stage hemorrhagic shock (HS). Late stage HS is a condition that occurs as a result of illness or injury in which severe blood loss leads to inadequate oxygen delivery at the cellular level and depletion of the essential molecule NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

We’re currently collaborating with Sims on conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-control trial evaluating the impact of Basis on muscle strength, endurance, and activity following traumatic injury in elderly patients. We’ll keep you posted as we progress. In the meantime, we invite you to read more on the trial and our research pipeline.

How Close Are Scientists to Delaying Reproductive Aging?

Female reproductive aging, and even why women undergo menopause, remains largely a mystery to science — but help may be on the way. A new research center at the Buck Institute for Aging Research is hoping to bring the science of reproductive longevity and the plausibility of extending it out of the dark ages.

The center’s goal, said Judith Campisi, Ph.D., a professor of biogerontology at the Buck Institute, is not to “have 80-year-old women having babies,” but rather to keep women’s reproductive systems vibrant so that they experience fewer issues when they are ready to have children.

The Serious Science of Not Eating

When it comes to diet, the big questions are no longer simply “What should you eat?” and “How much should you eat?” We spoke with three prominent scientists studying fasting and how it may change the way you think about food.

10 Books That Dig Well Below the Surface of Aging

If you Google books on aging and longevity, you’ll turn up an abundance of texts and catchphrases on growing old gracefully and intelligently with a whiff of humor or defiance. Well, there’s much more to the story of aging. That’s reflected in 10 of the best nonfiction books on how we age, why we age, and what we can do about it from a prominent aging researcher’s personal pursuit of a genetic “cure” for human aging to a leading longevity expert’s take on some of the harder truths of “super-sized lives.”

Keep Up
With Your Day

Basis works by restoring NAD+, a naturally occuring molecule found in every cell you have. Losing it as you age makes things like exercise, sleep, and staying energized throughout the day a bit harder every year.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

“Suddenly aging wasn’t about wrinkles, skin creams, late-night infomercials, and these wild claims, but it was about real scientists pursuing the understanding of these interconnected processes that are underlying so many different facets of health.”
