The Latest Longevity News Stories
More Autophagy Reduces Toxin-Induced Kidney Failure in Mice
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, […]
The Progress and Future of Biological Aging Clocks
A recent review discusses the development of biological aging clocks, their capabilities and limitations, the discoveries they enabled, and possible future developments in this area [1]. How do we measure […]
Regular Training Erases Parts of Muscle Aging Signature
A new study suggests that regular planned exercise, not just being generally active, protects against certain aspects of muscle aging [1]. Are trained muscles younger? With age, skeletal muscles lose strength, metabolic flexibility, and mitochondrial capacity. While regular […]
Gabriel Cian on Building the 2060 Longevity Ecosystem
In this follow-up interview, we speak with Gabriel Cian about how the 2060 ecosystem has evolved since last year’s Forum, […]
Exosomes From Stem Cells Fight Liver Disease in Mice
Researchers have described a method of using exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to fight harmful metabolic changes in the liver. Another look at exosomes This is far from the first attempt at […]
Engineered Enzyme Reverses Age-Related Protein Damage
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 […]
Activating a Key Receptor Fights Thymic Involution in Mice
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 […]
Peripheral Inflammation May Drive Parkinson’s
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 […]
Combining Senolytics and Stem Cells Shows Promise in Mice
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 injury models rather than natural aging [1]. Clearing […]
An Experimental Proposal for Blocking Ambient Radiation
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 entropy The cascading failure of bodily systems, leading to the […]
Optimizing Guidelines Toward Optimal Health Outcomes
In a recently published perspective paper, the author argues that the UK’s official health guidelines on physical activity and protein intake should be revised to recommend levels necessary to achieve optimal […]
Rescuing Calcium Ion Homeostasis Extends Mouse Lifespan
Scientists have linked disrupted Ca²⁺ homeostasis to aging in both progeroid and naturally aging mice. Rescuing it with a well-known antidepressant significantly increased the animals’ median and maximum lifespan [1]. Calcium ions in progeria and […]
