Driven by ongoing support from their community, The Longevity Science Foundation is extending the deadline for the Invested in Her campaign to October 1, 2026, as they
Properly untangling aging means untangling its various counterbalances, sometimes on the individual level. Here’s what’s been investigated this month. Interviews Wei-Wu He: People Should Become the CEOs
Researchers have found that the sirtuin SIRT1 stabilizes the human genome by suppressing retrotransposition, which occurs when parts of the genome transcribe themselves onto other parts. When
Michael Snyder, Director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University, is obsessed with health-tracking wearables. During our interview, he wore four wrist-worn devices
A recent study has examined whether senescence might allow cancer cells to survive oncogene withdrawal and become even more dangerous [1]. Some blocking techniques are temporary Many
A new study compared high-intensity sprint-interval exercise with moderate-intensity exercise. The former produced larger changes in circulating protein and metabolite levels than the latter and stimulated proteins
Researchers have found that an upstream promoter of two extracellular matrix proteins increases healing and strength capabilities in the tendons of rats. Tendon injuries in older people
A new study suggests that in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – and possibly other neurodegenerative diseases – the brain’s immune cells devour stressed but still living neurons due
Using cohort studies and a mouse model, researchers have found that the circulating factor ANGPTL8, which is produced by senescent fat cells, is related to age-related diseases
This AI startup, which lists Nobel laureate David Baker among its co-founders, has announced a “world model” of a cell that can simulate both its natural state
Researchers have gone into deep detail regarding how each of five senescent brain cell types expresses and receives factors that encourage other cells to become senescent. The
A massive human genetics study identified rare folliculin-interacting protein 1 (FNIP1) mutations associated with favorable metabolism and much lower cardiometabolic disease risk. Experiments in human liver cells
In Aging, the Conboys and their team have described how a combination treatment kills both senescent and cancer cells and lengthens the lives of old mice. Of
Staying informed about health and longevity interventions can be tedious and time-consuming. Often it involves manually decoding a supplement label with numerous compounds, reading a blog post
A recent study identified the thymus hormone thymulin as a molecule with the potential to reduce inflammation in an age-dependent manner. Treating cancer-bearing mice with this molecule
