The Latest Longevity News Stories
DNA Methylation Patterns Trace Blood Aging Dynamics
Scientists have created a new, highly effective method of tracing blood cells’ lineage. This can improve our understanding of clonal hematopoiesis and its impact on an aging organism [1]. Hostile takeover In the human body, a relatively small […]
Caloric Restriction Slows Ovarian Aging in Monkeys
In Aging, researchers have published their discovery that three years of caloric restriction in rhesus macaques that are beginning to enter menopause slows their ovarian aging. Closer to […]
Vitamin D Rescues Telomere Attrition in Leukocytes
A sub-study, which was part of the large-scale VITAL trial, determined that vitamin D supplementation slows telomere attrition in leukocytes almost to a halt. This could have real-life clinical implications [1]. The chromosome […]
Common Laboratory Mice Age Faster in a Natural Environment
In Aging Cell, researchers have found that exposing ordinary Black 6 mice to a more natural environment accelerates rather than slows the aging […]
Dietary Methionine Restriction Improves Healthspan in Mice
In a recent study, researchers investigated how restricting dietary methionine and inhibiting the tyrosine degradation pathway affects healthspan in aged mice. While affecting tyrosine didn’t show any benefits, methionine restriction improved many, but not all, measures of healthspan, including […]
Nanostructures Trap Amyloid Beta, Rescuing Neurons
Scientists have created engineered nanostructures that bind monomers and oligomers of harmful amyloid beta (Aβ) protein, preventing them from entering neurons and drastically […]
Results of a Phase 1 Trial of Senolytics for Alzheimer’s
The results of a Phase 1 trial of the well-known senolytic combination of dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q) in patients with Alzheimer’s disease have been published in Neurotherapeutics. Building on […]
Longevity Investor Network 2024 End of Year Update
Developing technologies to defeat age-related diseases by keeping people biologically younger is the goal of the rejuvenation biotechnology field. LRI created the Longevity Investor Network (LIN) to connect promising longevity tech companies with […]
Is Aging Part of the Immune System?
What is aging? Sadly, we don’t know. If we ask the experts in the field, they will give us different answers [1]. Consensus has not been reached […]
Well-Known Researchers Discuss Personalized Aging Treatments
The Hallmarks of Aging team has returned to Cell, publishing a detailed review discussing how future methods of dealing with aging might be […]
How Apigenin May Reduce Senescence and Cancer
Screening of a natural compounds library has revealed the senomorphic properties of apigenin. This natural flavonoid also demonstrated rejuvenating effects […]
Gamma Delta T Cells Show Promise Against Cellular Senescence
Scientists from the Lifespan Research Institute have discovered that a subset of T cells effectively targets senescent cells and improves outcomes in a mouse model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [1]. How do we harness the immune system against […]
