The Latest Longevity News Stories
Dr. David Furman on Inflammation and Aging
The longevity field hasn’t been very good at naming things, but one notable exception is “inflammaging”: the low-grade chronic inflammation that correlates with aging. Recognition has been growing that inflammation, the ubiquitous reaction of the immune system to various […]
Fixing Sugar Metabolism Shows Promise Against Dementia
Scientists have shown that aberrant metabolism of glycogen in neurons is linked to the accumulation of harmful tau protein. Caloric restriction, genetic interventions, and small molecules might help [1]. Glycogen and the brain Aberrant aggregation of microtubule-associated protein tau […]
Researchers Connect Cellular Markers to Physical Well-Being
In Aging Cell, a team of researchers has described how the health of skin fibroblasts relates to physical and functional ability. Frailty, capacity, and skin cells This paper begins with an […]
Healthspan Effects of an Anti-Aging Vaccine on Mice
The researchers of a recent study published in Aging Cell described their novel CD38 peptide vaccine, which improved many measurements of physical health and prevented cognitive decline in aged mice [1]. A long-term anti-aging vaccine Many anti-aging strategies, such as […]
Study Discovers a Mammalian Mechanism of Tissue Regeneration
Scientists have analyzed the differences between mammalian species that can regrow ear tissue after injury and those that cannot. Their findings can pave the way for novel regenerative therapies [1]. […]
Rejuvenation Roundup June 2025
This month, in between reporting on new methods of affecting aging at its most basic levels, we caught up with AI developers and a longevity fund. Here’s what’s happened in June. LEAF News Springtime for the […]
Researchers Identify a New Dementia Target
Researchers have ascertained that excessive amounts of complement C3, an essential immune protein that increases with aging, are responsible for causing dementia in a mouse model. A necessary complement […]
Subcutaneous and Visceral Fat React Differently to Obesity
Scientists have found that visceral fat and subcutaneous fat produce different responses to obesity in male mice and human patients and identified an important regulator of these processes [1]. The […]
How Part of the Krebs Cycle Affects Senescence
Researchers have discovered how and why α-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) affects cellular senescence and how a small molecule may be useful in affecting this process. They published […]
Targeting an Inflammatory Pathway Fights Alzheimer’s
Scientists have discovered that a rare mutation protects against Alzheimer’s disease by dampening a central inflammatory pathway. They recapitulated these results using a small molecule […]
Lipid Metabolite Rejuvenates Muscle Stem Cells in Mice
A recent study investigated the effect of a single treatment of prostaglandin E2 on improving muscle strength and rejuvenating muscle stem cells in mice. […]
Senolytics May Treat Some Long-Term Viral Lung Damage
In Aging Cell, researchers have published their findings that mice exposed to influenza experience long-term consequences that can be partially ameliorated with senolytics. Post-viral syndromes Long before the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus […]
