The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) Conference Program Committee would like to invite you to submit an abstract for poster presentation and/or speaking at the 17th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, December 9-12, 2009.
ABSTRACTS DUE: JUNE 30, 2009
All abstracts should be focused on clinical interventions and be applicable to the specialty of Anti-Aging Medicine. Those abstracts that focus on current events in disease and society will be given priority. All content should be absent of commercial statements and/or product endorsement. Please include a minimum of 4 references. Continue reading…

Longevity and Age Management |
A research team from the Center for Environmental Health Sciences (CEHS) at MIT has confirmed that when DNA repair mechanisms are compromised, chronic inflammation expedites intestine cancer in mice. The results suggest that people with a decreased ability to repair DNA damage might be more susceptible to developing cancer associated with chronic inflammation, such as ulcerative colitis. This discovery may lead to the development of treatments for the prevention of various types of cancer and will hopefully raise the awareness to the importance of early detection and treatment of inflammation.

The protein XPD is one component of an essential repair mechanism that maintains the integrity of DNA. XPD is unique, however, in that pinpoint mutations of this single protein are responsible for three different human diseases: in xeroderma pigmentosum, extreme sensitivity to sunlight promotes cancer; Cockayne syndrome involves stunted growth and premature aging; trichothiodystrophy, characterized by brittle hair and scaly skin, is another form of greatly accelerated aging.

Stroke |
Two novel treatments -- a basic compound found in every cell in the body and an extract of green tea -- may prevent brain damage caused from stroke, according to two studies in rats led by a researcher at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. Both treatments were administered through the nose, rather than intravenously, the conventional method for delivering drugs to the brain.

Researchers have uncovered a new way in which the aging process is linked to DNA damage--which occurs normally as a result of cell metabolism and environmental influences--and the various ways in which cells repair that damage. In the new work, researchers found that cells in young fruit flies make use of a different mix of molecular DNA-repair mechanisms compared to cells in older flies. The findings are reported by William Engels and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin and appear in the October 24th issue of the journal Current Biology, published by Cell Press.

When you dial 911 you expect rescuers to pull up at your front door, unload and get busy--not park the truck down the street and eat donuts. It's the same for a cell--just before it divides, it recruits protein complexes that repair breakage that may have occurred along the linear DNA chains making up your 46 chromosomes. Without repair, damage caused by smoking, chemical mutagens, or radiation might be passed on to the next generation.

The theory that animals die when they've expended their lifetime allotment of energy may be reaching the end of its own life, according to a study presented at The American Physiological Society conference, Comparative Physiology 2006. However, the longitudinal study leaves open a newer form of the theory -- that antioxidants help prolong life by limiting the damage that oxidative stress can cause to cells.

ANTI-AGING TIP OF THE DAY
Good Habits Lead to Good Health
In that a number of studies link unhealthy behaviors to accelerated declines in thinking and memory skills, these also can readily be remedied. Researchers from the Hopital Paul Brousse (France) studied 5,123 men and women civil service office workers in London enrolled in the Whitehall II study. Subjects were surveyed for health behaviors (smoking, dietary habits, daily activity) at 44 years of age, 56 years, and 61 years...
