Elo Life Systems: https://elolife.com/Super excited to bring on Matt DiLeo of ELO Life Systems on today's episode. Some of you may remember that ELO Life CEO Todd Rands was a part of 412 of this podcast two years ago. I've been fascinated by their work ever since to bring to the market what they call molecular farming. Matt does a great job of explaining the concept and how this shifts the value in some ways from food processors back to the farm by allowing farmers to grow desirable healthy ingredients inside of the commodity crops they already grow. It's kinda mind blowing. Some background on Matt: Dr. Matt DiLeo serves as the vice president of research & development at Elo Life Systems. In his role, Matt applies agricultural OMICs and precision breeding technologies to advance Elo's product pipeline. Prior to joining Elo, Matt held scientific leadership roles at Novozymes and KeyGene USA. Matt received his Ph.D. in Plant Pathology from UC Davis and completed a postdoc at the Boyce Thompson Institute, where he studied the impact of silencing regulatory genes on the nutritional composition of the tomato fruit metabolome.Matt seems to have a knack for being on the cutting edge of ag science and technology and has shown this in a variety of areas throughout his career.

Send us Fan MailDigiPath Digest #45 asks a practical question: can AI in pathology move from correlation to real clinical use? In this episode, I review four papers that push on that question from different angles: computational pathology moving toward morphology-driven molecular inference, the current state of digital cytopathology and AI, multi-omics and precision oncology in hepatocellular carcinoma, and AI literacy in veterinary education. What ties them together is not model performance alone. It is the harder question of validation, workflow fit, quantitative use, ethics, and human oversight.In the first paper, I talk about computational pathology as more than pattern recognition. The focus is on morphology-driven molecular inference, digital biomarkers, and why spatial omics matters as biological ground truth. I also discuss why continuous quantitative scoring is more useful than forcing biology into rough scoring buckets. The second paper focuses on digital cytopathology. Cytology was early for FDA-cleared AI in cervical screening, but non-gynecologic cytology is still much harder to digitize because of specimen variability and workflow complexity. I also cover telecytology, rapid onsite evaluation, automation, and quality control. The third paper looks at hepatocellular carcinoma and AI-driven precision oncology. This part is about using AI and machine learning to integrate genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, radiomics, and pathology to support biomarker discovery, tumor microenvironment analysis, and treatment stratification. The fourth paper may be the most broadly useful. It proposes an AI literacy curriculum for veterinary education that covers AI fundamentals, machine learning evaluation, LLMs, ethics, liability, and academic integrity. I think that matters far beyond veterinary medicine, because if clinicians are expected to use AI tools responsibly, AI literacy cannot stay optional. Highlights 00:01 Welcome and overview of the four papers 03:02 Computational pathology and morphology-driven molecular inference 11:01 Digital cytopathology, telecytology, and QC 20:47 AI/ML in hepatocellular carcinoma precision oncology 31:04 AI literacy in veterinary education 47:42 Final takeaways and Digital Pathology 101 update ResourcesComputational Pathology as a Mechanistic Discipline: From Morphology to Molecular Data https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42052846/Advances in Digital Cytopathology and Artificial Intelligence Applications https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42046894/Navigating the Labyrinth of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Leveraging AI/ML for Precision Oncology https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42065059/Curriculum Framework for Artificial Intelligence Literacy in Veterinary Education Front Vet Sci. 2026;13:1801756 Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

BUFFALO, NY — May 7, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on April 24, 2026, titled “The BHARAT study: a multi-modal, multi-omics investigation of aging signatures in the Indian population.” The study was led by first author Suramya Asthana and corresponding author Deepak Kumar Saini from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The authors introduce the BHARAT Study (Biomarkers of Healthy Aging, Resilience, Adversity, and Transitions), India's first large-scale, discovery-driven multi-omics cohort focused on understanding biological aging in the Indian population. The initiative was developed to address a major gap in aging research, as most existing biological age models and aging datasets have been derived primarily from Western populations. The BHARAT study is a multi-center, cross-sectional observational cohort that integrates clinical, molecular, lifestyle, and environmental data from participants across diverse demographic groups in India. The initiative aims to enroll healthy volunteers spanning multiple age groups, with balanced rural-urban and sex representation. Biological samples—including blood, urine, stool, cheek swabs, and hair—will undergo extensive multi-omics profiling, including epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, metagenomics, and immune phenotyping. “By generating interoperable, high-resolution data suited for mechanistic modelling and machine learning, BHARAT contributes a resource of global relevance that would be capable of refining universal models of aging biology while revealing novel, population-specific pathways that inform prevention and intervention strategies.” The initiative uses a hub-and-spoke framework centered at the Indian Institute of Science, which serves as the central hub for biobanking, multi-omics analysis, computational integration, and AI-driven modeling. Clinical and community partners across India contribute participant recruitment, clinical assessments, and biological sampling, enabling the study to capture the country's extraordinary genetic, environmental, dietary, and socioeconomic diversity. A major focus of the study is the development of population-specific biological aging signatures and predictive models tailored to Indian populations. Researchers aim to identify biomarkers associated with resilience, frailty, and age-related decline while also recalibrating biological clocks that may not accurately reflect aging trajectories in non-Western populations. The study further seeks to establish standardized reference datasets and create scalable infrastructure for future longitudinal aging research in India. Importantly, the BHARAT study combines untargeted discovery-based omics technologies with advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches. By integrating molecular data with clinical and lifestyle information, the initiative aims to improve understanding of how biological aging is shaped by genetics, environment, nutrition, infection burden, and social determinants of health. Overall, this study establishes a comprehensive framework for aging research in one of the world's most diverse populations. By generating large-scale, population-specific biological datasets, the BHARAT initiative may help advance precision aging research, improve risk prediction models, and support the development of more personalized approaches to healthy aging and disease prevention.

Send us Fan MailPaper Discussed in this Episode:Spatial omics and AI for clinically actionable cancer biomarkers. Reitsam NG. PLoS Med 2026; 23(4): e1005049.Episode Summary: In this deep dive, we explore how artificial intelligence and spatial omics are fundamentally rewriting the rules of cancer diagnostics. We break down a 2026 editorial that challenges a deceptively simple question driving modern oncology: Is a tumor "positive" or "negative" for a biomarker? As targeted cancer therapies evolve, this binary thinking is failing us. We discuss why mapping where and how much of a therapeutic target exists is crucial, and how AI is stepping in to solve the reproducibility issues human pathologists face when making borderline diagnostic calls.In This Episode, We Cover:• The Illusion of "Positive" vs. "Negative": Why the basic premise of modern cancer therapies—like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)—often falls apart in reality when we ignore the spatial heterogeneity of a tumor.• The Power of Computational Pathology: How AI is transforming subjective, qualitative estimates into continuous, reproducible data, scaling the quantification of complex biomarkers like PD-L1 and TROP2.• "Virtual" Proteomics: The fascinating concept of using AI models to infer high-dimensional spatial information and immune maps directly from standard, routine H&E stained slides.• The HER2 Bottleneck: A real-world look at the breast cancer drug T-DXd, which now demands pathologists distinguish between "HER2-low" and "HER2-ultralow". While human agreement drops below 70% at these fuzzy decision boundaries, AI steps up with a staggering ~97% sensitivity.• Three Shifts for the Future: Why clinical trials and routines must adopt continuous measures (like percentage of expressing cells), demand longitudinal repeat testing at disease progression, and utilize adaptive trial platforms.• Bridging the Gap to Reality: The massive hurdles preventing widespread adoption—such as equipment costs exceeding $250,000 and massive data storage needs. We discuss why a hybrid workflow that bolsters routine pathology with deployable AI is the best path forward to prevent widening global health disparities.Key Takeaway: The future of precision oncology isn't just about finding new drug targets; it's about fundamentally changing how we measure them. By moving away from rigid binary thresholds and using AI to map the continuous, spatial reality of tumors, we can unlock the true potential of targeted therapies. However, achieving this diagnostic ecosystem requires overcoming significant financial and systemic hurdles—such as updating reimbursement pathways and proficiency testing—to ensure these life-saving insights are accessible across all healthcare settings.Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Front. Med. 2026; 13:1772478.Episode Summary: In this journal club deep dive, we explore a paradigm shift in hematopathology, moving from 19th-century visual assessments to the cutting edge of precision medicine. We examine a 2026 review that unpacks how combining artificial intelligence with multi-omics technologies is transforming the traditional bone marrow biopsy from a static, subjective snapshot into a live, interactive, predictive 3D map. We ask: What happens when deep learning can predict underlying genetic mutations just by analyzing the visual shape and texture of a cell?.In This Episode, We Cover:The Breaking Point of Traditional Diagnostics: Why the 150-year-old gold standard of H&E staining and human visual assessment is hitting a biological and operational wall, plagued by subjectivity, high variability, and observer fatigue.The Multi-Omics Multiverse: Moving beyond standard genomics to unpack the complex biological machinery of the marrow, including:Epigenomics: The biological "switches," like DNA methylation, that control cell fate and can kick off malignant transformation without altering the underlying DNA sequence.Lipidomics: How cellular fats form specialized signaling rafts that actively remodel the marrow's communication network.Microbiomics (The Gut-Marrow Axis): How systemic inflammation driven by gut dysbiosis acts like a massive "traffic jam" that indirectly disrupts local bone marrow homeostasis and blood cell production.AI as the Ultimate Analytical Partner: How artificial intelligence serves as a bridge between physical tissue morphology and high-dimensional molecular data. We discuss AI tools like MarrowQuant for objective cellularity mapping and the Continuous Index of Fibrosis (CIF) that replaces clunky human guesswork with a granular, predictive metric.Predicting Genotype from Phenotype: The revolutionary capability of deep learning models to predict underlying genetic mutations (like TET2 or del 5q MDS) purely from the subvisual, spatial arrangement and shape of cells on a standard slide.Roadblocks and Solutions: Why this technology isn't universally adopted yet. We break down the "black box" problem of AI, the brittleness of algorithms in different clinical settings, and how innovations like Federated Learning and Explainable AI (using heat maps) are overcoming these hurdles.Key Takeaway: The integration of AI and multi-omics is redefining our understanding of bone marrow diseases. By uncovering invisible molecular machinery and objectively translating it through transparent algorithms, we are moving away from subjective human bottlenecks toward a highly personalized, predictive model of hematologic care.Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Send us Fan MailPaper Discussed in this AI Journal Club: "Transforming Gastric Biopsy Diagnostics: Integrating Omics Technologies and Artificial Intelligence" by Nasar Alwahaibi, published in the journal Biomedicines.Episode Summary: In this episode, we explore how traditional gastric biopsies are getting a massive, sci-fi-level upgrade. For over a century, diagnostic practice has relied heavily on visual pattern recognition via histomorphology—essentially looking at stained tissue under a brightfield microscope. Today, we discuss the paradigm shift toward data-driven "precision gastroenterology," made possible by merging high-resolution multi-omics technologies with the computational power of artificial intelligence (AI).Key Topics Covered:The Limits of the Status Quo: Traditional microscopic evaluation is foundational but limited. It suffers from interobserver variability (human disagreement), sampling limitations, and an inability to fully capture a tumor's biological complexity or predict how a disease will progress and respond to treatment.The Multi-Omics Revolution: Moving beyond basic static genomics to include transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics provides a comprehensive map of cellular activity—what we call the "active construction site". We highlight a pivotal study by Kamio et al., which demonstrated that knowing a patient's specific TP53 mutation profile (such as the R175H mutation) in early-onset gastric cancer can predict a significantly longer time-to-treatment failure (17.3 months vs. 7.0 months) using oxaliplatin chemotherapy.AI as the Medical Co-Pilot: Deep learning models and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are transforming both endoscopy and histopathology. For example, an AI-assisted tandem study showed a reduction in gastric neoplasm miss rates from 27.3% to an incredible 6.1%. Furthermore, AI tools have demonstrated the ability to outperform human experts in objectively scoring gastritis severity. However, it is crucial to remember that AI is currently a decision-support tool that still requires human oversight, especially in complex clinical realities.The "Endo-Histo-Omics" Paradigm: We dive into the future of integrated diagnostics, such as the HTML (Highly Trustworthy Multi-omics Learning) framework. This self-adaptive model dynamically tailors its computational architecture to prioritize the most reliable data from a specific sample's unique multi-omics and visual profile.Real-World Roadblocks: Before this becomes the standard of care at your local clinic, the medical field must overcome four main pillars of limitations: AI hurdles (data annotation burdens, black-box models), omics constraints (high costs, tiny biopsy sizes), integration complexity (lack of standardized software frameworks), and ethical/regulatory challenges (data privacy, algorithmic bias, and accountability).Conclusion: The traditional intuition of the pathologist is evolving as we transition toward personalized, multi-omics management.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Will Wang from Sanford Burnham Prebys about his work on muscle stem cell repair, regeneration, and aging, exploring spatial-omics and machine learning. We begin our conversation by exploring the traditional concepts of spatial biology and how they have evolved to play a critical role in disease research. Dr. Wang recounts his journey from a young student in a family of academics to becoming a leading figure in regenerative biology, highlighting how his early interests in life sciences, natural problem-solving abilities, and inspirations from mentorship set the stage for his current research trajectory. Throughout the discussion, we uncover key insights on how muscle stem cells transition from a quiescent state to a proliferative state in response to injury and how this dynamic process is governed by the epigenetic landscape and various signalling pathways. Dr. Wang emphasises the impact of external factors—be it microenvironment conditions or metabolic cues—on the fate and function of these stem cells, reflecting on the methodologies used to investigate these processes throughout his career. He shares fascinating findings from his PhD work, where he explored the regulatory role of transcription factors like PAX-7 in muscle stem cell activation, and how subsequent research developed in his postdoc at Stanford further illuminated the relationship between metabolism and histone acetylation. This pivotal work not only demonstrated how metabolic states dictate epigenetic modifications but also offered potential therapeutic insights for muscle degeneration and repair. As we move into more recent projects, Dr. Wang discusses the advances in multiplexed spatial proteomics and the insights garnered from a single-cell spatiotemporal atlas of muscle regeneration, which highlight the cellular heterogeneity in muscle tissue. He describes the use of novel computational tools, including neural networks, to uncover the regulatory mechanisms underlying stem cell function, particularly how prostaglandin signalling informs the regeneration process and how age impacts stem cell efficacy. The episode then wraps up with an engaging dialogue about the future implications of Dr. Wang's work in addressing age-related muscle degradation and broader applications in regenerative medicine.

APOE Gene Variants Linked to Metabolic Signatures of Aging and Alzheimer's Risk

BUFFALO, NY — June 12, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 3, 2025, titled “APOE genotype and biological age impact inter-omic associations related to bioenergetics.” In this study, led by first author Dylan Ellis and corresponding author Noa Rappaport from the Institute for Systems Biology, researchers discovered that different versions of the APOE gene—particularly ε2 and ε4—are linked to metabolic patterns associated with aging and Alzheimer's disease risk. Both variants were linked to increased levels of diacylglycerols, a type of fat molecule connected to insulin resistance and inflammation, suggesting shared disruptions in how the body regulates energy. The research team analyzed data from over 2,200 adults without an Alzheimer's diagnosis, exploring how APOE genotypes influence biological age, a measure of health that reflects how quickly or slowly someone is aging at a cellular level. They found that the same metabolic disturbances seen in ε2 carriers were also present in people considered biologically older, revealing unexpected overlap between genetic risk and aging-related metabolic changes. To examine these connections in more detail, the researchers used a multi-omics approach, combining blood-based metabolism and protein data, gut bacteria analysis from stool samples, and clinical chemistry data. This method allowed them to map how genetic differences and biological aging affect the body's energy systems. They observed altered connections between glucose metabolism, inflammatory markers, and key molecules that play roles in energy production, indicating early disruptions that could contribute to age-related diseases. One of the study's surprising findings was that the ε2 variant, usually associated with longer life and reduced Alzheimer's risk, showed metabolic traits similar to those found in insulin-resistant individuals. This suggests that ε2 may carry metabolic disadvantages earlier in life, with its protective effects becoming more pronounced later. Conversely, ε4—linked to greater Alzheimer's risk—may exert its influence based on interactions with lifestyle factors like diet, sex, and overall health status. “‘Omics association patterns of ε2-carriers and increased biological age were also counter-intuitively similar, displaying significantly increased associations between insulin resistance markers and energy-generating pathway metabolites.” By identifying these shared biological signatures, this study offers a new framework for understanding how genes and metabolism work together to influence aging. These findings could support more personalized health strategies aimed at delaying biological aging and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. As aging populations grow worldwide, understanding these pathways is essential to improving healthspan.

Osteosarcoma Webinar Series: Sowmya Ramesh, PhD joins us on OsteoBites to discuss how multi-modal omics analysis identifies targetable sensory neuron circuitry that promotes sarcoma disease progression.Bone pain is a hallmark of bone cancers, including osteosarcoma (OS), mediated by skeletal-innervating peripheral afferent neurons. However, the roles of tumor-associated sensory neurons in OS beyond pain perception remain poorly understood. To investigate their regulatory functions, a chemical-genetic approach was employed in mice carrying a knock-in allele for TrkA to perturb sensory nerve innervation during OS growth and progression. TrkA inhibition in these transgenic mice significantly reduced sarcoma-associated sensory innervation and vascularization, altered tumor-associated macrophage polarization, decreased tumor growth and metastasis, and extended overall survival.These findings suggest that targeting pathological innervation in OS may serve as an adjunctive therapy to enhance clinical outcomes and survival.Dr. Ramesh is a postdoctoral researcher from the James lab at Johns Hopkins. The lab's research focus lies at the intersection of skeletal pathophysiology and stem cell biology. The lab looks at the interaction of nerves in various musculoskeletal repair including bone repair and regeneration, osteoprogenitor cell characterization, and neoplastic bone. Dr. Ramesh specifically works on understanding how peripheral nerves regulate osteosarcoma disease progression.

Jeremy Forman joins us to open up about the hurdles– and successes that come with building data products for pharmaceutical companies. Although he's new to Pfizer, Jeremy has years of experience leading data teams at organizations like Seagen and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He currently serves in a more specialized role in Pfizer's R&D department, building AI and analytical data products for scientists and researchers. .     Jeremy gave us a good luck at his team makeup, and in particular, how his data product analysts and UX designers work with pharmaceutical scientists and domain experts to build data-driven solutions..  We talked a good deal about how and when UX design plays a role in Pfizer's data products, including a GenAI-based application they recently launched internally.       Highlights/ Skip to: (1:26) Jeremy's background in analytics and transition into working for Pfizer (2:42) Building an effective AI analytics and data team for pharma R&D (5:20) How Pfizer finds data products managers (8:03) Jeremy's philosophy behind building data products and how he adapts it to Pfizer (12:32) The moment Jeremy heard a Pfizer end-user use product management research language and why it mattered (13:55) How Jeremy's technical team members work with UX designers (18:00) The challenges that come with producing data products in the medical field (23:02) How to justify spending the budget on UX design for data products (24:59) The results we've seen having UX design work on AI / GenAI products (25:53) What Jeremy learned at the  Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with regards to UX and its impact on him now (28:22) Managing the "rough dance" between data science and UX (33:22) Breaking down Jeremy's GenAI application demo from CDIOQ (36:02) What would Jeremy prioritize right now if his team got additional funding (38:48) Advice Jeremy would have given himself 10 years ago (40:46) Where you can find more from Jeremy     Quotes from Today's Episode “We have stream-aligned squads focused on specific areas such as regulatory, safety and quality, or oncology research. That's so we can create functional career pathing and limit context switching and fragmentation. They can become experts in their particular area and build a culture within that small team. It's difficult to build good [pharma] data products. You need to understand the domain you're supporting. You can't take somebody with a financial background and put them in an Omics situation. It just doesn't work. And we have a lot of the scars, and the failures to prove that.” - Jeremy Forman (4:12) “You have to have the product mindset to deliver the value and the promise of AI data analytics. I think small, independent, autonomous, empowered squads with a product leader is the only way that you can iterate fast enough with [pharma data products].” - Jeremy Forman (8:46) “The biggest challenge is when we say data products. It means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and it's difficult to articulate what a data product is. Is it a view in a database? Is it a table? Is it a query? We're all talking about it in different terms, and nobody's actually delivering data products.” - Jeremy Forman (10:53) “I think when we're talking about [data products] there's some type of data asset that has value to an end-user, versus a report or an algorithm. I think it's even hard for UX people to really understand how to think about an actual data product. I think it's hard for people to conceptualize, how do we do design around that? It's one of the areas I think I've seen the biggest challenges, and I think some of the areas we've learned the most. If you build a data product, it's not accurate, and people are getting results that are incomplete… people will abandon it quickly.” - Jeremy Forman (15:56) “ I think that UX design and AI development or data science work is a magical partnership, but they often don't know how to work with each other. That's been a challenge, but I think investing in that has been critical to us. Even though we've had struggles… I think we've also done a good job of understanding the [user] experience and impact that we want to have. The prototype we shared [at CDIOQ] is driven by user experience and trying to get information in the hands of the research organization to understand some portfolio types of decisions that have been made in the past. And it's been really successful.” - Jeremy Forman (24:59) “If you're having technology conversations with your business users, and you're focused only the technology output, you're just building reports. [After adopting If we're having technology conversations with our business users and only focused on the technology output, we're just building reports. [After we adopted  a human-centered design approach], it was talking [with end-users] about outcomes, value, and adoption. Having that resource transformed the conversation, and I felt like our quality went up. I felt like our output went down, but our impact went up. [End-users] loved the tools, and that wasn't what was happening before… I credit a lot of that to the human-centered design team.” - Jeremy Forman (26:39) “When you're thinking about automation through machine learning or building algorithms for [clinical trial analysis], it becomes a harder dance between data scientists and human-centered design. I think there's a lack of appreciation and understanding of what UX can do. Human-centered design is an empathy-driven understanding of users' experience, their work, their workflow, and the challenges they have. I don't think there's an appreciation of that skill set.” - Jeremy Forman (29:20) “Are people excited about it? Is there value? Are we hearing positive things? Do they want us to continue? That's really how I've been judging success. Is it saving people time, and do they want to continue to use it? They want to continue to invest in it. They want to take their time as end-users, to help with testing, helping to refine it. Those are the indicators. We're not generating revenue, so what does the adoption look like? Are people excited about it? Are they telling friends? Do they want more? When I hear that the ten people [who were initial users] are happy and that they think it should be rolled out to the whole broader audience, I think that's a good sign.” - Jeremy Forman (35:19)   Links Referenced LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-forman-6b982710/

BUFFALO, NY- August 21, 2024 – A new #editorial was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 15 on August 8, 2024, entitled, “The benefits of exercise on aging: focus on muscle biomarkers.” The focus on maintaining health and vitality (e.g., good healthspan) in later life has become increasingly important as the world's population ages. Over the past few decades, groundbreaking research in the field of aging has deepened our understanding of the molecular basis of this process. In the last decade, advances in aging research have identified biomarkers such as DNA methylation (DNAm) and gene expression, offering insights into both chronological and biological aging. Researchers Robin Grolaux, Bernadette Jones-Freeman, Macsue Jacques, and Nir Eynon from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute at Monash University in Melbourne, explore the impact of exercise on these biomarkers in human skeletal muscle—a critical tissue for metabolism, thermogenesis, and movement—revealing its potential to foster healthier aging. This study represents the first quantitative and qualitative analysis of the effects of exercise on age-related biomarkers in human skeletal tissues. Future research could explore the global effects of exercise on various molecular pathways and differentiate between exercise types to develop more effective personalized therapies. “We have the opportunity to uncover functional therapies that effectively impact aging.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206064 Corresponding Author - Nir Eynon - nir.eynon@monash.edu Video short - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhiq2I0sW1U Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.206064 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts Keywords - aging, skeletal muscle, exercise, epigenetics, OMICs, biomarkers About Aging-US The mission of the journal is to understand the mechanisms surrounding aging and age-related diseases, including cancer as the main cause of death in the modern aged population.

Multi-omics is the layering of genetic information (genomics) with laboratory biomarker results (metabolomics) to understand the root cause of disease and risk. This educational series focuses on genetic variants in specific enzymes and explains how to evaluate the systemic effects. Today's episode revolves around the enzyme cystathionine-beta-synthase (CBS). This enzyme is important for homocysteine metabolism, sitting at a branch point between two important cycles: methylation and transsulfuration. The action of this enzyme is important for balancing the critical functions of methylation with the creation of glutathione and energy. Listen to understand why this enzyme is important and what a genetic variant in CBS might mean for you and your patients. Today on The Lab Report: 2:20 Reminder of what we mean by multi-omics 4:50 Introducing the CBS enzyme and the sink drain metaphor 7:40 The genetics of CBS – the silent mutation – and its potential effects 12:40 Better Know A Biomarker:  Cystathionine! 16:20 Activators and inhibitors of CBS and its effects on other biomarkers 18:55 Question of the Day:  Does a CBS SNP cause elevated ammonia levels? 21:40 Evaluating surrounding biomarkers and how do you treat this SNP?

BUFFALO, NY- July 9, 2024 – A new #editorial paper was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 12, entitled, “Aging retinal pigmented epithelium: omics-based insights into vision decline.” In this new editorial, researchers Ioan V. Matei and Luminita Paraoan from Edge Hill University discuss vision decline with aging. Of all senses affected by aging, vision decline arguably has the most impactful relationship with overall wellbeing, health and personal autonomy. However, while the ensuing importance of vision loss has long been recognised from a public health perspective given an increasingly aging population, understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving age-related pathological changes is still in its infancy. “This matter is, therefore, critical for tackling sensory impairment and ensuring healthy aging.” The retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE), the cellular monolayer located between the neuroretina and the highly vascularized choroid, from which it is separated by Bruch's membrane (BrM), has a critical role in human vision and performs essential functions throughout life for maintaining the retinal homeostasis. RPE is a specialised, fully differentiated tissue that is mitotically inactive, with no regenerative potential. Unsurprisingly, given all its characteristics, functions and metabolic demands, the RPE is particularly susceptible to aging, sustaining significant morphologic and physiologic changes. “Aging is recognised as the highest risk factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of adult visual impairment and blindness in the Northern Hemisphere, which is directly linked to specific pathological changes of the RPE located in the macula, i.e., the central part of retina; these changes, therefore, affect central vision required for reading, driving, and discerning details of pictures, faces, shapes and colors.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.205914 Corresponding author - Luminita Paraoan - Luminita.Paraoan@edgehill.ac.uk Video short - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-zhhFjlQ4Y Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.205914 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts Keywords - aging, RPE, vision, omics About Aging-US The mission of the journal is to understand the mechanisms surrounding aging and age-related diseases, including cancer as the main cause of death in the modern aged population.
