Researchers have found that the sirtuin SIRT1 stabilizes the human genome by suppressing retrotransposition, which occurs when parts of the genome transcribe themselves onto
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
A recent study has examined whether senescence might allow cancer cells to survive oncogene withdrawal and become even more dangerous [1]. Some blocking techniques
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
Researchers have found that an upstream promoter of two extracellular matrix proteins increases healing and strength capabilities in the tendons of rats. Tendon injuries
A new study suggests that in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – and possibly other neurodegenerative diseases – the brain’s immune cells devour stressed but still
Using cohort studies and a mouse model, researchers have found that the circulating factor ANGPTL8, which is produced by senescent fat cells, is related
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
Researchers have gone into deep detail regarding how each of five senescent brain cell types expresses and receives factors that encourage other cells to
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
In Aging, the Conboys and their team have described how a combination treatment kills both senescent and cancer cells and lengthens the lives 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 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
A new study proposes a theoretical framework that explains why the more complex an animal is, the harder it is to move the needle
Researchers have discovered why the protein AGGF1 has significant effects on blood pressure and published their findings in Aging Cell. Blood pressure is a
