Month: July 2024

On July 26, 2024, the 11th Aging Research and Drug Discovery meeting had to stop registrations after reaching full capacity. It sold out two weeks faster than in 2023, a month prior to the start of the conference. The conference is a non-profit volunteer-run event organized and hosted by the University of Copenhagen. It brings...

The authors of a recent review investigated what is known about gut microbiota in centenarians and how gut microbes can help people achieve extreme longevity [1]. What makes centenarians special? One way of investigating what gives people longevity and health in older ages is to study people who have achieved it, especially those who have...

In Aging Cell, researchers have published a paper on a cellular energy source that appears to be a key signaling molecule in sarcopenia. A little-explored molecule Sarcopenia, a condition that increases with aging, reduces muscle mass in older people, and leads to a decreased quality of life [1], has been documented to have multiple root...

In Aging, a pair of researchers has published a perspective connecting fat (lipid) accumulation and cellular senescence in neurons to Parkinson's disease. α-syn, but not just α-syn Parkinson's disease is characterized by the loss of a specific population of neurons: the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, a part of the brain that governs movement...

Today, Rejuve.AI, the world's first decentralized AI longevity research network, has announced four new partnerships, bringing the grand total to 20 organizations that have committed alongside Rejuve.AI to help humankind live longer. Rejuve.AI is working to lengthen lifespans by paying members in its RJV crypto token to share their own health data to help shed...

Research published in Aging Cell has revealed that a nematode species commonly used for aging research lives much longer on an alternate-day fasting regimen, but only when it is administered in middle age and only when the worms are consuming an animal-based protein source. Deciding what to restrict and when Dietary restriction practices have been...
