The Latest Longevity News Stories
Fixing Lysosomes Improves Blood Stem Cell Function
In a recent study, scientists have demonstrated that lysosomal dysfunction actively decreases the potency of hematopoietic stem cells. Calming lysosomes reversed this process, opening avenues for new treatments [1]. Few […]
Nanoparticles Improve Intercellular Mitochondrial Transfer
Scientists have created “nanoflowers” that nudge donor cells to produce more mitochondria, which can then be transferred to recipient cells to boost their mitochondrial function [1]. Mitochondrial transfer is difficult to improve Energy is required for life, and most energy […]
George Church on Building “Scientific Superintelligence”
George Church, a Harvard professor and a famed geroscientist, is also known as a serial entrepreneur who has co-founded dozens of biotech companies. While Church maintains that he’s involved in them all, one company has been seeing an unusual […]
How Senescent Cells Encourage Melanoma Growth
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have documented a key reason why older people are much more likely to get melanoma. Why older people have significantly worse melanoma cases While melanoma is much more treatable now than in the […]
The Impact of Plant Polyphenols on Ovarian Aging
A recent review in the Journal of Ovarian Research summarizes current knowledge of the impact of various polyphenols on different aspects of ovarian aging. The researchers discuss that polyphenol supplementation could […]
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 [1]. Making aging-resistant cells Stem cell exhaustion is one […]
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 […]
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 translated into a protein. Each […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 that the protective effect of speaking one foreign […]
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 […]
