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.

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.

This month, Surfing NASH embarks on a series of episodes dedicated to takeaways emerging from June's two major conferences: the 2023 EASL Congress in Vienna and the American Diabetes Association's 83rd Scientific Sessions meeting in San Diego. In doing so, the Big Band of Surfers (Stephen Harrison, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green) are joined by Mazen Noureddin for a fascinating conversation which covers compelling data and ideas emerging from the drug development space.Mazen starts this conversation by stressing the importance of omics, particularly metabolomics and proteomics, in creating a single blood-based measure that can offer standardization around evaluation or, otherwise, a small set of standard tests. He goes on to describe breakthrough obesity presentations at the ADA meeting and returns to the question that he raised in Episode 31: do we need NASH drugs given how powerful the upcoming weight-loss pharmacotherapies will be? He simply says, yes we do, and describes why. Stephen returns to the topic of omics, stating his preference for additional omics works, albeit with some skepticism about proteomics. That said, he questions whether omics will get a far enough and expresses hope that epigenetics might get even further. The rest of this conversation entails Mazen, Stephen and Jörn discussing biomarkers and omics issues. Stephen wraps up the session by noting that we will have plenty to talk about in this arena for years to come. Finally, he mentions AI as another key area for future growth. Each conversation covers a lot of ground on drug development, analysis of trial results, and the upcoming increases in importance of omics and artificial intelligence.

In a follow-up preview, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell, Mazen Noureddin, Ian Rowe and patient advocate Jeff McIntyre join Roger Green to discuss key presentations and posters of interest at the 73rd Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD). On November 4th-8th in Washington DC, as many as 10,000 attendees will convene in an effort to advance and disseminate the science and practice of hepatology, and to promote liver health and quality patient care.Jörn starts this conversation by noting his anticipation for Parallel 12: NASH therapeutics and OMICs. Specifically, he points to an abstract titled Novel Mobile Health Delivered Lifestyle Intervention Program (Noom Health Weight) in Patients with NASH: a randomized controlled proof of concept study. This is a small trial in patients with NASH and obesity. The study sought to measure weight loss alongside weekly engagement with the Noom Healthy Weight app. 70% of patients met the engagement goal and lost an average of 5.3 kg over 16 weeks. Patients undergoing a more typical lifestyle management lost an average of 1 kg. Jeff joins to highlight the potential of a remote technology to generate 70% weekly engagement. He also finds this data promising in terms of providing a program that patients can use to measure health and manage fatty liver disease. By contrast, Jeff discusses recent conversations with a patient recently diagnosed with NAFLD who was not maintaining successful self-management due to obscurity of direction. Roger cautions that while this trial reported “no adverse event,” it consisted of a small sample size and short study duration. He also raises questions around the commercial model buttressing this study: who is paying and for how long can they maintain motivation? He envisions a more viable approach will be supported by commercial payers, who in return are investing in health care data. Given this may take some time to play out, Roger casts a third suggestion: FDA-approved digital therapeutic apps. He predicts this to be fertile grounds for patient empowerment over the next few years.As this session winds down, Jeff responds to several of Roger's comments and notes the turbulent impact of a pandemic on participation in wellness apps. This topic extends into the next conversation.

In a follow-up preview, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell, Mazen Noureddin, Ian Rowe and patient advocate Jeff McIntyre join Roger Green to discuss key presentations and posters of interest at the 73rd Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD). On November 4th-8th in Washington DC, as many as 10,000 attendees will convene in an effort to advance and disseminate the science and practice of hepatology, and to promote liver health and quality patient care.Mazen begins by highlighting a presentation by Laurent Castera which covers an abstract the two collaborated on. The paper looks to validate and compare head-to-head the FASTTM, MAST, and MEFIB scores as well as FIB-4 and NAFLD fibrosis score in a large cohort of T2D patients with NAFLD. Roger notes last week's discussion on use of FIB-4 as a primary screening tool, commending its performance in NPV but not PPV. He suggests this study offers a way forward for an enriched population who would benefit from a test offering high PPV and a narrow indeterminate zone. Jörn and Louise respond with their thoughts on FIB-4 as a cheap, accessible tool for primary care. Their analysis aligns with a conclusion from last week's preview: FIB-4 is not a tool for the specialist's office but, instead for primary care practices conducting first-line screening.Ian suggests some of the preceding conversation anchors performance of these tests to biopsy. Interested in moving beyond biopsy, he points out presentations which compare outcomes of patients according to either biopsy or associated noninvasive tests. The first paper investigates whether screening for advanced fibrosis in the community can identify the subgroup of people with NAFLD at higher risk for development of liver-related complications. The study aimed to determine the prognostic value of baseline noninvasive fibrosis tests for predicting liver-related outcomes and mortality in patients with NAFLD from T2D clinics or primary care. Ian then looks at a presentation by Samer Gawrieh which provides data on progression. Mazen agrees with the idea that as data accumulates around NITs, we can better understand how longitudinal changes impact outcomes.Jörn highlights his anticipation for Parallel 12: NASH therapeutics and OMICs. He specifically points to a presentation by Jonathan Stine on answering an unmet need to develop effective lifestyle intervention programs. This randomized proof of concept trial evaluates the feasibility, acceptability and safety of a novel commercially available mobile health app. This topic immediately resonates with Jeff, who is encouraged by two elements: the development of remote personalized technologies and the resulting patient empowerment. Roger raises questions around the commercial model buttressing this study: who is paying and for how long can they maintain motivation? He envisions a more viable approach will be supported by commercial payers, who in return are investing in health care data. Given this may take some time to play out, Roger casts a third suggestion: FDA-approved digital therapeutic apps. He predicts this to be fertile grounds for patient empowerment over the next few years. After some back and forth with Jeff, Roger shifts focus to his interest in posters on primary care screening and the metabolic-NAFLD link. Mazen shares his enthusiasm for the potential of machine learning to ensure accuracy in the use of NITs.As time winds down, the panelists provide closing comments touching on a number of topics. It's noted that this data-rich, insight-laden conference will host a dynamic inclusion of presentations on therapeutics, drug development and solutions deployed to market. Stay tuned for the upcoming live recorded coverage from Washington DC.

Our week of "Greatest Hits" episodes from the vault continues with our most popular conversation ever, as Stephen Harrison and Jörn Schattenberg synopsize the Basic Science segment of the recent Paris NASH meeting. This segment, which focuses largely on a state-of-the-art look at fibrosis, is by far our most downloaded conversation every, with more volume than the next four posts combined!As I wrote at the time: Paris NASH is a meeting for basic science and interdisciplinary thinking. Since Stephen Harrison was drafted into co-chairing the session titled "Deep Dive into Fibrosis," he led this conversation. The session included three presentations with a powerful collective message about stellate cells: that different stellate cell subtypes perform in unique ways in terms of how they function, the process(es) through which they become modified and what this represents in terms of performance. This description does not do Stephen and Jörn's comments justice. It's a short session, so listen for yourself...

Medical instruments that are 3D printed could help astronauts analyze medical samples in space.

 Dr. Tommy Sors, Assistant Director of the Purdue Institute of Inflammation, Immunology and Infectious Disease (PI4D), explains the role that STEM professionals in all fields play in sequencing genes to understand the instructions for life found in every cell. This field of study is known as genomics, but within this field, there are many other “-omics.” How about the field of study involving RNA copied from DNA made within the cell? Transcriptomics. The field of instructions on how to make proteins? Proteomics. The study of proteins metabolizing within the cell? Metabolomics. Each of these fields creates a flood of information that requires computational science to help scientists better understand the data.
