A new study suggests a way to predict whether existing drugs can extend human lifespan. This method uses a network approach that detects longevity signals in protein interactions [1]. Slowing
How a Primate-Specific RNA Strand Worsens Senescence
June 29, 2026
Researchers have discovered a primate-specific piece of non-coding RNA that is linked to aging and makes senescence worse. The packing matters While non-coding RNA strands (ncRNAs) do not themselves produce
Cell Type-Specific Aging Predicts Disease Onset
June 26, 2026
A new study has used aging trajectories of various cell types to predict diseases such as Alzheimer’s and lung cancer [1]. This expands on previous research into organ-specific aging. Age
Upregulating a Key Cartilage Factor Leads to Osteoarthritis
June 25, 2026
Researchers have found that sustained expression of excess hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α leads to unwanted formation of blood vessels (angiogenesis) that destroys cartilage and causes osteoarthritis. A necessary but destructive factor
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 been considered extremely hard to reverse [1]. Can we rejuvenate proteins? Many proteins are continually broken
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 The thymus trains a certain subset of immune cells, which are named T cells due to
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 [1]. Brain on fire Nature made the brain remarkably well-protected, including from the elements by the
