Full-Day Pre-Conference Track Nov 10th—Discover the dynamics of telomere science to track down where your patients really are on the continuum of health and illness—their biological age vs. their chronological age—and help them get motivated to make the right changes toward a better quality of life.
Telomere Biology Workshop: Applications for Clinical Practice
- Fundamentals of Telomere Biology
William H. Andrews, Ph.D. President & CEO, Sierra Sciences
We age because a clock ticks inside every dividing cell of our bodies. This clock is called the telomere clock and is found at the tips of our chromosomes. I will be discussing ways to slow down, stop, and even reverse this clock.
- Making the Case:
Why Telomeres ARE Important to the Aging Process Joseph Raffaele, M.D. Founder, Raffaele Medical, New York, NY
There is an ongoing debate about how important telomere length is in determining the rate of aging in humans. Resolution of this controversy is critical because it will determine if efforts to develop therapies to maintain and/or increase telomere length continue to be supported. I will present data from mortality and morbidity studies of humans with extremely short telomeres due to inherited monogenic telomere disorders, telomerase KO mouse models mimicking human aging, and successful reversal of aging in mouse models in support the causal role that telomere length attrition plays in human aging. I will then discuss molecular (multigenic and mitochondrial) and cellular mechanisms through which telomeres might be causing aging in support of an integrated model of the role of telomeres in human aging.
- Telomere Measurement Technologies
William H. Andrews, Ph.D. President & CEO, Sierra Sciences
Studies in mice have shown that old mice can be made young again in every way imaginable simply by reversing the ticks on this clock utilizing an enzyme called telomerase. Treatments for humans are sooner than you think.
- Clinical Outcomes with Interventions that Incorporate Telomere Activation
Florence Comite, M.D. CEO & Founder, Comite Center for Precision Medicine, New York, NY Member, AMMG Conference Planning Committee
Abstract T.B.D.
- Telomere and Disease: Are Telomeres the Key to Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease?
Earl H. Eye, M.D., FAACP President, Cenegenics, Jacksonville Partner, Cenegenics, Atlanta
Telomeres, the end-caps of our chromosomes, protect our genetic data, permit cell division, and hold the secrets to how we age. Certain lifestyle factors can cause our telomeres to prematurely shorten. These stunted telomeres trigger cell apoptosis, senescence, or oncogenic transformation of somatic cells. The end result: a decline in our health and lifespan. New studies reveal the extent to which telomeres play a role in our health. For example, recent research shows a direct effect between shortened telomeres and cardiac and pulmonary diseases. The good news is, lifestyle interventions, supplements, astragalus extracts and more can reverse telomere attrition. In this presentation, I will review the fundamentals of telomeres: what they do and why they're important. In more depth, I'll then highlight how cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases are directly affected by shortened telomeres. I'll wrap things up by offering ways to maintain our telomere length.
- Telomere and Disease: Cancer
David M. Woynarowski, M.D., CPT CEO, Dr. Dave’s Best CMO, BioStem Technologies, Oakland Park, FL
The association between telomere length, function and health and cancer is unequivocal. But what is the application of this in our particular practice of Age Management Medicine? What answers does the literature provide to common associations and questions we have and get from our patients regarding telomere length, measurements and using the safety of telomere modification agents? Is there a role for telomere measurement and therapy in predicting or treating cancer?
- Interpreting Lab Results:
Examination and Analysis of Attendee Cohort (Individual Lab Results Provided to Attendees who Opted in to the Optional Lab Analysis) Joseph Raffaele, M.D. Founder, Raffaele Medical, New York, NY
The results of the lymphocyte subset (helper/suppressor ratio, senescent and naïve suppressor cells) and telomere length (HT-QFISH) testing of the attendees who were tested prior to the workshop will be analyzed as a group and individual cases exhibiting interesting findings will be looked at in detail. The objective is to make attendees comfortable explaining the results of advanced immune function and telomere testing and its importance to patients.
- Telomere Maintenance:
The Role of Stress, Exercise, Diet & Supplements David M. Woynarowski, M.D., CPT CEO, Dr. Dave’s Best CMO, BioStem Technologies, Oakland Park, FL
Ever since the Nobel Prize was awarded for the elucidation of Telomere/Telomerase biology a huge and growing interest in the role telomeres play in aging and disease has developed. There has been solid and exciting progress in literature supported life style modifications that may benefit telomere health and thus age management and regenerative medicine. When one examines what really is supported literature it is often different than what hears in the news. What should we practice personally and what should we tell our patients? How can we apply the literature to all of our mutual benefit?
- Telomere Treatment Strategies: Case Studies with Q & A
