At a panel in Boston, senior officials announced plans to include aging in the agency’s regulatory science agenda and discussed how therapies could move toward approval. Longevity has
The Biomarkers of Aging Consortium will host its fourth annual Biomarkers of Aging Conference on October 5 and 6, 2026, at the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at
Which generation will be considered “the last to die” of age-related diseases is ultimately a question of technological development and deployment. Here’s what’s been done on that front
A new preprint study suggests that transplanted hearts’ epigenetic age and possibly function are influenced by their recipients’ age. The findings can be relevant to both expanding the
Researchers have created a deep learning-based biomarker, SASP Score, that evaluates the combined effects of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) circulating in the bloodstream. Measuring an overall burden
According to a new study, creatine supplementation might help maintain and increase lean mass even without diet or exercise. It also enhanced the effects of a combined diet
Researchers have discovered that BNIP3, which regulates mitochondrial maintenance, is increased with aging, harming the heart’s ability to process energy. Mitochondrial transplantation was found to be effective against
Results from a recent study suggest a delay in ovarian aging in mice following treadmill training; this effect was mediated by adiponectin. Pharmacologically activating adiponectin receptors extended reproductive
According to a new study using a mouse model of a rare disease, transplanted immune cells donate their mitochondria to neighboring donor cells, improving energy production and rescuing
In a pilot study, patients engaging in intermittent fasting demonstrated improvements in Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition currently considered untreatable. However, the study’s size and limitations call for
In a new study, thymic tissue implanted in the spleen improved immune responses against viruses and tumors and reversed age-related thymic involution in mice [1]. Growing one organ
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have found that a cocktail of molecules released by human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) can mitigate sun-induced skin aging (photoaging) in
Researchers have established how a protein that is nearly absent in the literature, PTCHD4, is linked to cellular senescence. Very little previous work In most papers, after a
A team of researchers has discovered that mitochondrial health and location may be critical to why cognitive plasticity decreases with age. Old mammals and new tricks The adage
Six different aging clocks detected younger blood protein profiles in patients taking the experimental lung-fibrosis drug rentosertib. This suggests possible anti-aging effects, but separating those from the narrower
