The Latest Longevity News Stories
Improved Stem Cells Rejuvenate the Brains of Monkeys
Scientists have genetically modified human mesenchymal progenitor cells to express a more potent version of the “longevity gene” FOXO3, producing rejuvenative effects in monkeys, mice, and human cells […]
A Sarcopenia-Related MicroRNA May Help Pinpoint Its Origin
In Aging Cell, researchers have discovered a potential way to use a microRNA to diagnose sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle. Primary and secondary sarcopenia Previous research has been able to distinguish sarcopenia by its sources. […]
NAD+ Rescues Mouse Tauopathy by Fixing Alternative Splicing
A new study reveals a surprising mechanism that might be behind the beneficial effects of NAD+ in preclinical models of Alzheimer’s [1]. Which way to splice it? Not every part of a DNA sequence gets […]
The Key Questions of Longevity Research
In GeroScience, a large team of researchers, including João Pedro de Magalhães, has described a hundred currently unsolved problems in the field. Finding the right questions Understanding the fundamental nature of aging has been a problem […]
If Death Were Optional, Would You Still Choose It?
The idea of living longer, healthier lives thanks to rejuvenation biotechnology has steadily become more common. Gradually increasing numbers of articles are discussing this idea, especially as science is starting to catch up and […]
Multilingualism Is Associated With Delayed Aging
A recent study of over 80,000 Europeans concluded that speaking more than one language is associated with delayed aging. Further analysis suggested […]
New Gene Therapy Robustly Lowers LDL and Triglycerides
A new Phase 1 trial produced encouraging safety and efficacy results for a CRISPR-based gene therapy that silences a gene important for lipid regulation. This therapy might increase adherence and reduce side […]
High-Fiber Foods May Fight T Cell Senescence
Researchers have discovered that butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid with well-documented gut benefits, fights senescence in T cells. Immune senescence drives inflammaging Senescence of the immune system (immunosenescence) is a problem that […]
Mice With Reduced Astrocytic Oxidative Stress Live Longer
Scientists have discovered that directly reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at their source in astrocytes, mitochondrial complex III, improves neuronal health and significantly increases lifespan in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s [1]. Dangerous species Reactive oxygen […]
EDA2R May Be an Aging Biomarker and Inflammaging Target
A review in Aging Cell has cataloged the harmful effects of EDA2R, a protein that affects three distinct inflammation-related pathways. A necessary protein gone bad Like nearly every other protein with documented harmful effects, […]
Rapamycin May Delay Age-Related Fertility Decline
In a recent study, researchers identified that an increase in the expression of ribosome-related genes and a loss of protein homeostasis contribute to the age-related […]
Skin Aging Underlined by Loss of Capillary Macrophages
A new study ties the disappearance of capillary-associated macrophages to age-related vascular degeneration in the skin. Boosting their function with a growth factor offers a possible avenue for anti-aging interventions [1]. Macrophages, capillaries, and skin aging Skin aging might not […]
