Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@optispan While scientific papers are generally considered trustworthy sources of information, it's important to approach them with a critical mindset and to avoid blindly accepting their claims. The peer-review process, which helps ensure high research quality, is not foolproof. Errors or biases can slip through the cracks. In reading a paper, we should independently evaluate the evidence, scrutinize the methodology, and reflect on alternative interpretations of the data. Considering the influence of funding sources, conflicts of interest, and the potential for selective reporting can also help in maintaining a healthy skepticism about new information. In this episode of Longevity This Week, Matt takes us through a recently-published paper about the effects of senolytic CAR T cell therapy on the aging process in mice to help us figure out whether the paper's claims hold water. He also analyzes a BBC article describing the findings. Popular press adaptations of the scientific literature often serve as a useful bridge between the complex world of research and the general public, but can be misleading in their attempts to make science accessible. They might, for example, inadvertently distort or oversimplify findings, exaggerate the significance of results, or selectively report research while ignoring contradictory or inconclusive evidence from other sources. We hope this episode will encourage viewers to approach science communication with a discerning eye, and to stay vigilant, curious, and open-minded in learning about the latest discoveries and developments. 0:00 Trailer 0:39 Introduction 2:11 Paper: Prophylactic and long-lasting efficacy of senolytic CAR T cells against age-related metabolic dysfunction 4:30 The paper's title 5:44 Going through the abstract 17:37 Does this intervention really improve health and delay aging? 18:32 Metabolic improvements 25:06 Exercise capacity 29:52 Other effects on aging 33:24 Possible takeaways from the paper 34:08 BBC article about the paper 42:22 Immune-based therapies to target aging 45:01 Translating these findings to humans 50:06 What's next on Longevity This Week Producers: Tara Mei, Nicholas Arapis Video Editor: Jacob Keliikoa DISCLAIMER: The information provided on the Optispan YouTube channel is intended solely for general educational purposes and is not meant to be, nor should it be construed as, personalized medical advice.

I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it. On this channel I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these videos helpful!
