The Latest Longevity News Stories
Vitamin C Alleviates Aging in Cynomolgus Monkeys
A recent study described a process called ferro-aging, in which iron accumulation leads to oxidative damage and cellular senescence. This process can be delayed by Vitamin C [1]. A two-faced atom Iron, like […]
A Single Sauna Session Causes White Blood Cell Mobilization
A new study shows that hitting a sauna for 30 minutes causes a transient spike in the number of circulating white blood cells. The researchers suggest that this exercise-like effect might […]
Why Fast-Cycling Skin Cells Decrease With Age
In Aging Cell, researchers have described how one dermal protein is related to maintaining the populations of fast-cycling skin cells and preserving skin integrity. Not all skin cells are the […]
Affecting a Signaling Pathway Alleviates Alzheimer’s in Mice
A new study shows that the overexpression of somatostatin (SST), a neuropeptide produced in neurons and acting mostly on microglia, lowers inflammation and amyloid β burden, improving cognitive abilities in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s. Drugs affecting this pathway […]
A Combination NAD+ Treatment Has Benefits for Mice
Researchers have found that simultaneously supplying NAD+ through NMN and reducing its loss through apigenin restores muscle function and bone structure to aged mice. A well-documented issue […]
Life Bio’s Trial: Is the FDA Warming to Rejuvenation?
The FDA views aging as an inevitability, not a medical target. However, with Life Biosciences moving the first cellular reprogramming therapy into human trials this year, things might be changing there. If […]
The Timing of Meals Matters for Biological Aging
A recent study investigated a connection between the timing of meals and the rate of biological aging. These findings suggest that later timing of the first and last meals is associated […]
APOE4 Increases Neurons’ Excitability Before Symptoms Appear
The pro-Alzheimer’s allele APOE4 makes hippocampal neurons in mice smaller and hyperexcitable. This effect, which resembles epilepsy and accelerated aging, can be mitigated by manipulating a neuronal protein [1]. Before symptoms arise Alzheimer’s […]
A Target for Ameliorating Post-Operative Delirium
Researchers have discovered a potential treatment for post-operative delirium, which accelerates cognitive decline in older people. A common problem with long-term effects Roughly a quarter […]
Insilico and Eli Lilly Announce a Major Collaboration
Building on two previous deals between the companies, this new agreement is potentially worth up to $2.75 billion and involves Lilly licensing assets from Insilico’s […]
How an Enzyme’s Depletion Makes Fat Worse
In Aging Cell, researchers have described how the enzyme Pck1, a core part of metabolic activity, is required for staving off senescence in fat (adipose) cells. […]
Becoming Well-Fed and Sedentary Accelerates Penguin Aging
A recent study suggests that the transition of king penguins from the wild to a zoo environment, which resembles a sedentary, well-fed Western lifestyle, results in accelerated aging and changes in metabolic pathways [1]. A unique […]
