Researchers have outlined a key receptor and protein involved in the formation of cataracts, paving the way for potential treatments targeting them. Oxidative stress and cataracts are closely related
In Aging Cell, researchers have described the differences between primary and secondary senescent cells, comparing radiation-induced senescence to senescence induced by the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Heterogeneity on top
Beijing, China — In response to the growing healthcare demands of a rapidly ageing population, China has launched its first national competency-based education programme in longevity medicine, marking a
Scientists have devised a CRISPR-based tool that can kill cells carrying a specific strand of RNA. The tested targets include cancerous and virus-infected cells [1]. Targeted assassination of cells
We have spoken with Reason from Repair Biotechnologies about his company’s lead candidate, REP-0004, a drug targeting the liver to reduce excess intracellular free cholesterol. The FDA has granted
Most cardiovascular trials focus on lowering LDL cholesterol or reducing inflammation to slow disease progression. UDP-003 targets the root cause: toxic 7-ketocholesterol (7KC) inside macrophages and soft plaques. It

This month, a group of researchers published an annual report on the clinical trials that are testing drugs for Alzheimer’s disease. Overall, they reported an increase in the number
We are super excited to share with you that today we released AI4L – “AI for Practical Longevity”, an open-source system that enables anyone to produce rigorous, evidence-based reviews
A new study suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists do not affect muscle mass any more than weight loss caused by caloric restriction, and this appears to be true for
Dr. Junyue Cao is a professor at the Rockefeller University, and his lab develops ultra-high-throughput single-cell technologies and applies them to the biology of aging. In a recent paper
In Aging Cell, researchers have elucidated the relationship between intestinal aging and age-related changes to the gut microbiome. Two interdependent biologies The human gut works through the interaction of
In a new study, the popular supplement creatine seemed to add to some of the beneficial effects of power training [1]. Trying the combination in older people Exercise might
A new study has pit an advanced large language model against human physicians in tasks involving complex reasoning, treatment recommendations, and messy real-world patient records [1]. Testing a “thinking”
