Transplanted Immune Cells Donate Mitochondria to Neighbors
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 function [1]. Here, have some mitochondria Friedreich’s […]
Intermittent Fasting Shows Promise in a Huntington’s Trial
In a pilot study, patients engaging in intermittent fasting demonstrated improvements in Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition currently considered untreatable. […]
Thymus Grafts Grow in Mouse Spleens, Restoring Immunity
In a new study, thymic tissue implanted in the spleen improved immune responses against viruses and tumors and reversed age-related thymic […]
Clearing Damaged Mitochondria to Fight Skin Photoaging
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 mice by restoring their cells’ ability to get rid of their own […]
An Entirely New Target for Fighting Senescence
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 customary […]
Mitochondrial Performance May Strongly Influence Learning
A team of researchers has discovered that mitochondrial health and location may be critical to why cognitive plasticity decreases with age. Old mammals […]
Lung Fibrosis Drug Lowers Biological Age Estimates
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 benefits […]
Calcium Mishandling Contributes to Muscle Loss
Researchers have discovered and explained how calcium mishandling in muscle cells leads to long-term muscle weakness in older people. Calcium is not just for bones Skeletal muscle cells use calcium ions to control how and when they contract. This activity […]
Comparing the Responsiveness of Epigenetic Aging Biomarkers
In a recent study, researchers have evaluated how responsive several DNA methylation (DNAm) biomarkers are to a range of longevity interventions [1]. Waiting too long Testing lifespan-extending interventions in humans has a major problem: it can take […]
Late-Life GLP-1 Treatment Increases Lifespan in Female Mice
In a new study, semaglutide given late in life increased median lifespan in female mice by more than 12% and improved various health markers. Semaglutide’s effect possibly went beyond caloric […]
Mice With Growth Hormone Halted in Middle Age Live Longer
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have described how stopping growth hormone receptor production in midlife significantly lengthens the lives of mice. Growth but diabetes […]
The Last Generation to Die: Interview With Tim Maupin
Filmmaker Tim Maupin has spent a number of years developing The Last Generation to Die, a near-future film about what happens when the first true […]
