Increasing Senolytic Effectiveness by Stressing Mitochondria
Researchers publishing in Nature Aging have described how mitochondrial stress is a key part of why senolytics are effective. Finding targeted effectiveness The researchers began this study by summarizing senescent cells and the senolytics created to eliminate […]
Association Between Vitamins and Slower Biological Aging
A recent study analyzed data from over 15,000 participants and their intake of 11 vitamins, and the results suggested that higher vitamin intake, particularly of Vitamins C and B2, is associated with slower biological aging [1]. Beneficial molecules One […]
Weight Training Load Doesn’t Affect Muscle Mass or Strength
A new study suggests that, if sets are taken close to failure, the amount of weight on the bar does not determine muscle growth. However, individual differences in muscle-building ability appear to be real [1]. How should we train? Muscle […]
