Researchers have ascertained that excessive amounts of complement C3, an essential immune protein that increases with aging, are responsible for causing dementia in a mouse model. A necessary complement The complement system is a key immune system component that is involved in removing misfolded proteins, infectious diseases, and various cellular fragments from the brain [1]....

Scientists have found that visceral fat and subcutaneous fat produce different responses to obesity in male mice and human patients and identified an important regulator of these processes [1]. The tale of the two fats It has been known that visceral fat, which accumulates around organs in the abdomen, and subcutaneous fat, which accumulates under...

As China’s population ages rapidly, the development of the longevity industry has been prioritized to the level of national strategy since 2024. To drive its growth, government policies support a broad spectrum of longevity innovations, ranging from preventive wellness to nutritional supplements. Free Trade Zones such as those in Shanghai have been opened to international...

Researchers have discovered how and why α-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) affects cellular senescence and how a small molecule may be useful in affecting this process. They published their findings in Cell Reports. A crucial molecule AKG is a major part of multiple fundamental metabolic processes, including the Krebs cycle that mitochondria use to generate energy, and...

Scientists have discovered that a rare mutation protects against Alzheimer’s disease by dampening a central inflammatory pathway. They recapitulated these results using a small molecule [1]. The woman who beat the odds For the last 40 years, scientists have been studying a massive extended family of about 6,000 people in and around Medellín, Colombia. Many...

A recent study investigated the effect of a single treatment of prostaglandin E2 on improving muscle strength and rejuvenating muscle stem cells in mice. The researchers explored the molecular and epigenetic aspects underlying this rejuvenation [1]. Aging muscle stem cells Sarcopenia, a loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, is an age-related disorder that leads...
