The Latest Longevity News Stories
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 2 […]
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 The link between cellular […]
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 […]
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 that stopped proliferating due to p16 expression. A difference […]
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 in aged mice [1]. Senescence and autophagy Cellular senescence, which occurs when cells stop […]
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 a familiar […]
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 […]
Rejuvenation Roundup September 2026
Which generation will be considered “the last to die” of age-related diseases is ultimately a question of technological development and deployment. Here’s what’s been done on that front in September. Interviews The Last Generation […]
Transplanted Hearts Shift Toward Recipients’ Molecular Age
A new preprint study suggests that transplanted hearts’ epigenetic age and possibly function are influenced by their recipients’ age. The […]
A New Metric for Overall Senescent Cell Burden
Researchers have created a deep learning-based biomarker, SASP Score, that evaluates the combined effects of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) circulating in the bloodstream. Measuring an overall […]
Creatine Protects Lean Mass Even Without Exercise
According to a new study, creatine supplementation might help maintain and increase lean mass even without diet or exercise. It also […]
Giving Cells Fresh Mitochondria Helps Clear Damaged Ones
Researchers have discovered that BNIP3, which regulates mitochondrial maintenance, is increased with aging, harming the heart’s ability to process energy. Mitochondrial transplantation was found to be effective against this increase in a mouse model. The heart needs energy Mitophagy, the […]
