Stanford scientists discover fountain of youth molecule that revives deteriorating muscles - now they want to turn it into an anti-aging drug
UPDATED: 14:24 EDT, 13 October 2023

Mice who received the injections saw muscles regenerate bigger and stronger

Drug to reverse muscle atrophy has major implications for ALS and more
Stanford scientists have discovered a molecule they hope could be turned into an anti-aging drug.
Testing in lab mice revealed that by blocking the action of an aging-related protein in the body called 15-PGDH, they could repair broken nerve and muscle fiber connections to restore strength and muscle mass.
The discovery could have wide-reaching implications for adults who start seeing muscle strength wane 10 percent with every passing decade, as well as tens of thousands of Americans with muscle-wasting diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Their research is the first to show that damaged motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord can be regenerated by blocking the activity of 15-PGDH to regenerate muscle while boosting levels of a replenishing molecule called prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).
The Stanford University research team’s latest finding expands on earlier research that showed blocking 15-PGDH, also known as a gerozyme, significantly improved the mice’s leg strength and endurance when running on a treadmill.
Dr Helen Blau, the lead researcher, and director of the Baxter Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology at Stanford University, said: ‘This is the first time a drug treatment has been shown to affect both muscle fibers and the motor neurons that stimulate them to contract in order to speed healing and restore strength and muscle mass. It’s unique.
‘PGE2 is part of the body’s natural healing mechanism, and its levels increase in muscle after injury. We wanted to learn how age triggers an increase in 15-PGDH, and therefore the degradation and loss of PGE2.’
In 2021, the research team began daily injections of a small 15-PGDH-blocking molecule into 24-month-old mice, which is technically old age for the animals. They simulated an injury to the mice’s sciatic nerves before administering the treatments.
They found that inhibiting 15-PGDH even partially restored PGE2 to levels typically found in younger mice and their muscle fibers grew back larger and stronger.
They now know why this is. 15-PGDH builds up in muscles while breaking down PGE2 as people age.
PGE2 is released by the body in response to inflammation such as a muscle tear or strain in order to speed up the healing process.
The researchers also identified hidden clumps of 15-PGDH in the muscle fibers of people with neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, muscular dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis, suggesting that the gerozyme may have a role in causing these debilitating human disorders.
Dr Blau said: ‘Our next steps will be to examine whether blocking 15-PGDH function in people with spinal muscular atrophy can increase lost muscle strength in combination with gene therapy or other treatments.
‘We are also looking at ALS to see if something like this might help these patients. It’s really exciting that we are able to affect both muscle function and motor neuron growth.’
Muscle frailty is especially common in seniors, affecting around 30 percent of people over 80. But the course of muscle deterioration starts as early as one’s 50s.
It also has a steep economic cost. As muscles waste away over time, a person loses their ability to work and care for themselves, have a higher risk of a bad fall or other injury, and become increasingly less mobile.
The result is billions spent by the government to care for seniors at greatest risk of harm, on top of the mountain of money spent by insurance companies to cover the cost of care for the millions who don’t get coverage through the federal government.

EXCLUSIVE: Republican congresswoman launches bid to STOP U.S. sending hundreds of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid to Palestinians following Hamas atrocity in Israel
-
The U.S. currently funnels hundreds of millions in humanitarian aid for Palestinian people
-
The Biden-era policy is a departure from former President Trump who axed Palestinian aid
-
In exchange for aid, the Palestinian Authority would have to recognize Israel's right to exist, remove and bar Hamas from govt and condemn terrorism
California GOP Rep. Michelle Steel is introducing a new bill to cut off all U.S. aid for the Palestinian territory until the Palestinian Authority renounces Hamas and recognizes Israel.
The U.S. currently funnels hundreds of millions in humanitarian aid for Palestinian people. The Biden-era policy is a departure from former President Trump who axed Palestinian aid.
'This is commonsense. Not a single American taxpayer dollar should be sent to the corrupt, murderous Palestinian Authority until we have full confidence that it will never allow an evil like this to happen again,' Steel said in a statement.
In exchange for aid, the Palestinian Authority would have to recognize Israel's right to exist as a sovereign Jewish state, remove and bar Hamas from any government position and condemn terrorism.
Between April 2021 and March 2022 the U.S. provided $417 million for Palestinian refugees through the United Nations, $75 million in economic aid through USAID and $20.5 million in Covid and Gaza recovery assistance.
For 2022 the U.S. planned to offer $45 million to support the 'rule of law' in Gaza.
Meanwhile a federal judge allowed the discovery period to begin on a lawsuit that alleges President Biden is sending taxpayer funds to Palestinian territory in violation of a law that prohibits funding terrorist organizations.
The ruling comes during the outbreak of war after Hamas launched a series of surprise attacks on Israel that have left 1,300 dead. Israel's counter-attacks have killed some 1,500 - and the Israeli government has now ordered 1.1 million locals to evaquate northern Gaza as the conflict drags on.
The U.S. and Qatar have agreed to freeze $6 billion in Iranian assets - a reversal of earlier plans to unfreeze the money as part of a prisoner swap.
Iran has denied any involvement in the attack, but the sophisticated tactics used by Hamas suggest otherwise. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that Iranian security officials helped Hamas plan the attack.
News of the planned change came hours after Joe Biden issued his first public warning to Iran since the Hamas attack on Israel.
'We've 'made it clear to the Iranians: Be careful,' Biden said at a meeting with Jewish leaders at the White House on Wednesday.
Speaking in Tel Aviv, on a visit to Israel, Secretary of State Antony Blinken defended the original prisoner swap arrangement that had seen the Iranian funds transferred from South Korea to Qatar.
He added: 'None of the funds that have now gone to Qatar have actually been spent or accessed by Iran in any way.'
