Engineered Enzyme Reverses Age-Related Protein Damage
July 17, 2026
Scientists have engineered an enzyme that removes an advanced glycation end product (AGE) from proteins. This type of age-related modification, which affects protein function and can trigger inflammation, has previously
Activating a Key Receptor Fights Thymic Involution in Mice
July 16, 2026
Publishing in Aging Cell, researchers have devised a way to delay the aging of the thymus by targeting GPR40, a key receptor in its epithelial cells. The organ that involutes
Peripheral Inflammation May Drive Parkinson’s
July 14, 2026
A new study suggests that aging or Parkinson’s-triggering mutations create inflammation in peripheral tissues, and then circulating extracellular vesicles spread it to the brain, which might contribute to the disease
Combining Senolytics and Stem Cells Shows Promise in Mice
July 10, 2026
A new study associated with Immorta Bio suggests that combining a senolytic vaccine with mesenchymal stem cells might create a synergistic impact. However, the findings rest on acute, artificially induced
An Experimental Proposal for Blocking Ambient Radiation
July 9, 2026
A perspective published in Aging and Disease has recommended the use of underground laboratory space in order to remove the effects of surface radiation on biological clocks. A question of
José Pedro Castro on Inflammation and Aging
July 31, 2026
For the last several years, Dr. José Pedro Castro, a Gladyshev Lab alumnus, who is now Assistant Researcher and Project Principal Investigator at the Institute for Research and Innovation in Health at the University of Porto, has been studying inflammation and its crucial role in aging
Short-Term Stresses May Undermine Clock Results
July 30, 2026
A team of researchers has concluded that while methylation-based epigenetic clocks generally give reliable outputs when given the same inputs, short-term biological fluctuations can drastically change their results. Technical and biological reliability The authors make a clear distinction between technical and biological reliability. A technically reliable
Montana’s Right-to-Try Law Enters a New Phase
July 28, 2026
Montana’s first experimental treatment review board has brought three longevity heavyweights into the state’s effort to expand access to experimental therapies. How much regulation is too much? Many people in the longevity field will tell you that regulation is holding it back. Sensible oversight of novel
How the Immune System Makes Sun Damage Worse
July 27, 2026
In Aging Cell, researchers have published an explanation of how neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) worsen UVB damage and how inhibiting them alleviated this damage in a mouse model. When defenders just make things worse Immune activation is a common response to damage, as the immune system
NYC Woman Dead After Receiving a “Longevity Infusion”
July 24, 2026
According to the experts that we spoke to, the death, which followed an intravenous NAD⁺ infusion that went catastrophically wrong, underscores the risks of unproven treatments and the need for rigorous longevity medicine. Earlier this week, Elizabeth Baron, a 27-year-old woman from New York City, died
More Autophagy Reduces Toxin-Induced Kidney Failure in Mice
July 23, 2026
Autophagy, which increases in younger mice under toxic stress, does not increase in older mice and leaves them susceptible to acute kidney injury (AKI). Increasing autophagic flux by targeting a key molecule, transcription factor EB (TFEB), alleviates some of this damage. An acute disease with lasting
The Progress and Future of Biological Aging Clocks
