An investigation into the aging immune system identified age-related changes, including sex-dependent differences, in immune cell subpopulations and gene expression. In general, females showed greater age-related changes than males, including
According to a new study, rapamycin probably interferes with exercise, blunting its effects in older human subjects. This result, however, might be specific to the particular protocol. Can they work
BioAge Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOA) (“BioAge” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging, today reported results
A paper in Cell Genomics has described how age-related systemic inflammation (inflammaging) is related to epigenetic aging as measured by four established clocks. Tying together two well-known aspects of aging
Researchers have genetically engineered blood stem cells to produce B cells that can churn out rare broad-action antibodies to fight HIV, malaria, and flu. This platform can also be used
In Aging Cell, researchers have described how suppressing the ghrelin receptor improves muscle function and fights sarcopenia in older mice. An appetite hormone with negative effects Ghrelin has been well-documented
A recent study described a process called ferro-aging, in which iron accumulation leads to oxidative damage and cellular senescence. This process can be delayed by Vitamin C [1]. A two-faced
A new study shows that hitting a sauna for 30 minutes causes a transient spike in the number of circulating white blood cells. The researchers suggest that this exercise-like effect
In Aging Cell, researchers have described how one dermal protein is related to maintaining the populations of fast-cycling skin cells and preserving skin integrity. Not all skin cells are the
The Asia-Pacific Longevity Medicine Society (APLMS), in partnership with The Kitalys Institute, announced that the 2026 Asia-Pacific Healthy Longevity International Summit (APAC-LMIS) will be held in Hong Kong from October
A new study shows that the overexpression of somatostatin (SST), a neuropeptide produced in neurons and acting mostly on microglia, lowers inflammation and amyloid β burden, improving cognitive abilities in
The FDA views aging as an inevitability, not a medical target. However, with Life Biosciences moving the first cellular reprogramming therapy into human trials this year, things might be changing
A recent study investigated a connection between the timing of meals and the rate of biological aging. These findings suggest that later timing of the first and last meals is
The pro-Alzheimer’s allele APOE4 makes hippocampal neurons in mice smaller and hyperexcitable. This effect, which resembles epilepsy and accelerated aging, can be mitigated by manipulating a neuronal protein [1]. Before
