The Latest Longevity News Stories
Combining Senolytics and Stem Cells Shows Promise in Mice
A new study associated with Immorta Bio suggests that combining a senolytic vaccine with mesenchymal stem cells might create a synergistic impact. However, the findings rest on acute, artificially induced injury models rather than natural aging [1]. Clearing out […]
An Experimental Proposal for Blocking Ambient Radiation
A perspective published in Aging and Disease has recommended the use of underground laboratory space in order to remove the effects of surface […]
Optimizing Guidelines Toward Optimal Health Outcomes
In a recently published perspective paper, the author argues that the UK’s official health guidelines on physical activity and protein intake should be revised to recommend levels necessary to achieve optimal health, rather […]
Rescuing Calcium Ion Homeostasis Extends Mouse Lifespan
Scientists have linked disrupted Ca²⁺ homeostasis to aging in both progeroid and naturally aging mice. Rescuing it with a well-known antidepressant significantly increased the animals’ median and maximum lifespan [1]. Calcium ions in […]
How Muscle Loss and Bone Loss Are Related
Researchers have elucidated some of the links between the age-related loss of muscle (sarcopenia) and the age-related loss of bone (osteoporosis). Related in multiple ways Substantial previous research has described the relationship between muscle and bone […]
Intermittent Fasting Increases Lifespan in Male Mice
Restricting food access to an 8-hour window increased median lifespan in male mice by 12%. However, that might be due to voluntary caloric restriction induced by the […]
Rejuvenation Roundup June 2026
Doing something about aging seems to require action at the most basic genomic level. Here’s what’s been done there and in other areas in June. Interviews The Thalion Initiative: A New Non-Profit With Big […]
Study Maps Existing Drugs to the Hallmarks of Aging
A new study suggests a way to predict whether existing drugs can extend human lifespan. This method uses a network approach that detects longevity signals in protein interactions [1]. Slowing aging with existing drugs? Finding drugs that can slow […]
How a Primate-Specific RNA Strand Worsens Senescence
Researchers have discovered a primate-specific piece of non-coding RNA that is linked to aging and makes senescence worse. The packing matters While non-coding RNA strands (ncRNAs) do not themselves produce proteins, they serve crucial regulatory functions. Short ncRNAs, […]
Cell Type-Specific Aging Predicts Disease Onset
A new study has used aging trajectories of various cell types to predict diseases such as Alzheimer’s and lung cancer [1]. This expands on previous research into organ-specific aging. Age is more than one number Gone are the days […]
Upregulating a Key Cartilage Factor Leads to Osteoarthritis
Researchers have found that sustained expression of excess hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α leads to unwanted formation of blood vessels (angiogenesis) that destroys cartilage and causes osteoarthritis. A necessary but destructive factor Being required for extracellular matrix […]
Glycosylation’s Role in Alzheimer’s Disease
A recent study suggests that hyperglycosylation in brain tissue can be a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease [1]. Lesser-known Alzheimer’s molecular features Pathological deposits of amyloid-β plaques and tau tangles in the […]
