The Latest Longevity News Stories
Stiff Collagen May Lead to Senescent Cells
A preprint study has found that the stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM) itself encourages cells to undergo senescence. An unexplored relationship ECM stiffness and […]
Amyloid-Fibrinogen Complexes Exacerbate Alzheimer’s in Mice
A study from Rockefeller University suggests that an unholy duo of two proteins causes harm in much lower concentrations than either of them alone. This points to a possible route for intervention […]
Measuring Dog Aging With Protein Metabolism
Researchers working with data from the Dog Aging Project have found that post-translationally modified amino acids (ptmAAs), which are generated from protein metabolism, are useful in determining the biological ages of dogs. The Dog […]
Andrea Maier on Longevity Medicine for All
Dr. Andrea Maier, Oon Chiew Seng Professor in Medicine at the National University of Singapore, is a veteran geroscientist and one […]
Addressing Age-Related Vision Decline With Lipid Supplements
Researchers have partially reversed age-related vision decline in mice by injecting lipids directly into the retina [1]. The lipids in the retina The membranes that surround our cells are made of lipids and proteins. The […]
Tiny Brain Organoids Show Promise in Alzheimer’s Research
Scientists have developed a novel multicellular integrated brain model to study neurological diseases, incorporating all six major brain cell types derived […]
How Being in Orbit Affects Stem Cells
In Cell Stem Cell, researchers from the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have published a review discussing what experiments conducted in space can do for stem cell research and medical research as a whole. Cells behave differently in microgravity […]
Female-Specific Mechanism of Neurodegeneration Discovered
Scientists have found that a gene on the X chromosome, which escapes silencing, promotes inflammation and neurodegeneration in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, but the effects can be reversed with metformin. Human RNA sequencing data supports these findings [1]. […]
Infrared Lasers Clear Harmful Compounds in Mouse Brains
Researchers have discovered that infrared lasers promote the clearance of toxic metabolites from the brains of age-accelerated mice by improving lymphatic drainage. Gunking up the works Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), like their acronym suggests, accumulate with age. These substances, which […]
Interventions Testing Program Finds Three New Compounds
A new report from the Interventions Testing Program adds three new compounds to the list of lifespan-extending compounds confirmed during their experiments: […]
Why Naked Mole Rats Have Better DNA Repair
Scientists have found that the cGAS protein in naked mole rats, a famously long-lived species, boosts DNA repair, while the human version tends to hamper it. The difference boils down to just four amino […]
Researchers Identify Key Age-Related Genes
In Aging Cell, researchers have described core genes that apply to a wide variety of species and appear to be causal drivers of aging. Looking for signals in the noise Introducing their study, the researchers note that […]
