The Latest Longevity News Stories
AI Extracts Broader Health Insights From Routine CT Scans
A new study suggests that CT scans can provide information about a wide range of conditions, including some not typically diagnosed through imaging. Direct comparison with human radiologists is the next step [1]. Getting more from a scan A CT […]
An RNA Regulator Mitigates Senescence in Blood Vessels
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have found that the regulatory protein MTR4 fights DNA damage in the blood vessel lining but decreases with aging. […]
Blocking STING Helps Preserve Bone in Aging Mice
A new study links STING-mediated signals from marrow fat cells to inflammation and declining NAD⁺ levels in bone-forming cells. Interrupting this pathway helped preserve […]
Making SIRT1 and NAD+ Therapies Work in People
Reviewers publishing in Biology have elucidated SIRT1 functional reserve as an aspect of aging, describing how its depletion is an upstream cause of age-related disorders at the cellular level and explaining why many prospective therapies that increase SIRT1 […]
Menopausal Serum Protein Changes May Predict Brain Health
A recent analysis of serum protein changes identified 16 proteins related to inflammatory, synaptic, metabolic, and Alzheimer’s disease processes whose levels change during the menopausal transition [1]. These […]
Low-Fat Vegan Diet Shows Benefits in Type 2 Diabetes
A human trial found that even without caloric restriction, a low-fat, plant-based diet improved blood sugar control, reduced liver fat, and lowered the quantity of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the skin [1]. An all-you-can-eat vegan buffet Type […]
An Anti-Senescence Gene May Fight Spinal Disc Deterioration
In Aging Cell, a team of researchers has described how a little-known gene, ZNF865, has a significant influence on back pain through the regulation of cellular senescence. Lower back pain and senescence are related […]
Gut Bacteria Molecule Slows Atherosclerosis in Mice
A new study highlights a fatty acid produced by a particular genus of bacteria as a “natural statin,” suggesting a new way of treating atherosclerosis [1]. Bacteria and cholesterol Atherosclerosis develops when […]
Untangling Differences in Senescent Cellular Signaling
In Aging, researchers have described the differences between the secretions of cells driven senescent through a cancer gene and cells […]
Declining Autophagy Impairs Senescent Cell Clearance
A new study links an age-related decline in cellular maintenance to impaired immune clearance. Activating the pathway reduced signs of senescence […]
The Biomarkers That Predict Mortality Risk
Researchers have discovered key biomarkers that are strongly linked to all-cause mortality and identified four measurements with independent predictive power. Biological versus chronological This paper opens with a discussion of […]
FDA Leaders Name Longevity a Priority at ARDD
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 a partner […]
