In a new systematic review published in Scientific Reports, multiple genes driving skin aging were identified [1]. The authors start by explaining the intrinsic […]

Researchers have been able to achieve substantial recovery of cellular and organismal activity in pigs that had been dead for a full hour [1]. When is it […]

A team of researchers publishing in Nature Communications has described nanobodies that can destroy the α-synuclein aggregates that characterize Lewy bodies, which are associated with dementia and […]

Dr. Steve Horvath hardly needs an introduction, so we will be brief: he is the inventor of the epigenetic clock and, currently, principal investigator at Altos Labs. We talked about the […]

In a randomized, controlled trial, scientists have shown that sauna and exercise, when taken together, might have a synergistic, beneficial effect on cardiovascular health and cholesterol levels [1]. Turn […]

A team of researchers publishing through Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute has described an association between the peptide ghrelin and skeletal muscle aging in mice [1]. An appetite stimulant […]

Ryan O’Shea discusses the Longevity Summer Camp, a four-day retreat featuring people from many longevity-related walks of life, on this episode of Lifespan News. Script Recently, somewhere between the former gold mining town of Nevada […]

Periodontal disease affects more than 47% of adults aged 30 and over. For people over 65 years of age, that number rises to over 70%, making periodontitis one of the most commonly observed age-related illnesses. Jonathan An’s lab […]

A new study published in Mechanisms of Aging and Development has shown that caloric restriction effectively restores T cell abundance in aged mice [1]. Is it really just about getting fewer calories? Caloric restriction has become a well-known anti-aging intervention, […]

Researchers publishing in Journal of Biomedical Science have concluded that hesperetin, a compound found in various herbs, improves longevity in mice by promoting the expression of the pro-longevity gene Cisd2. Mitochondria and Cisd2 […]

A high-quality, randomized, controlled trial found no effect of vitamin D supplementation or blood levels on the incidence of fractures in an aging […]

Preventing the dysfunction of natural killer (NK) cells may be a promising area to explore in the fight against cellular senescence. Researchers are hoping to define the correlation between […]

Joppe Nieuwenhuis, Innovation Scout at Rejuveron Life Sciences, discusses his views about the future of longevity and rejuvenation research and how it will merge with current medical […]

Periodontal disease affects more than 47% of adults aged 30 and over. For people over 65 years of age, that number rises to […]

Researchers from the University of Connecticut, Stanford University, Université Laval Quebec, and NSU Florida have helped test large-scale exogenous mitochondrial transplants in animal disease models and in-vitro human […]

Coffee contains hundreds of biologically active compounds that influence long-term health. Coffee consumption is associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality as well as protection from diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, liver diseases, […]

Metformin is widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes; it improves glucose metabolism and thereby reduces diabetic complications. How it works is not well-understood, but […]

Maintaining a healthy weight is a sensible strategy for staying healthy and trying to slow down aging. However, a lot of people try to lose weight fast through crash diets and extreme […]

Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol commonly found in peanuts, grapes, and some berries. Many benefits have been ascribed to it, including enhanced mitochondrial function, protection from obesity and obesity-related […]

Today, we chronicle the progress of partial cellular reprogramming and discuss how this powerful technique may be able to reprogram cells back into a youthful state, at least partially reversing epigenetic alterations, one of the proposed reasons we age. The […]

Sirtuins are a family of seven SIRT enzymes found in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria of human cells. These enzymes exist in nearly all […]

In this article we will be exploring the role of collagens in aging and skin structure.   What is collagen? Collagens are important structural proteins […]

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) result from a reaction between reducing sugars and amino groups on proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids. This reaction takes several […]
