The Latest Longevity News Stories
A Subtype of T Cells Counters Senescence in Mice
Scientists have discovered that a cytotoxic subtype of CD4 T cells, which is enriched in old people, helps control cellular senescence. This hints at a new type of anti-senescence strategy but also suggests that an immune […]
An AI-Based System Has Found a Potential Longevity Drug
In a preprint published in bioRxiv, Prof. Vadim Gladyshev and a team of researchers have used an artificial intelligence-based system to discover a wide variety of potential interventions, including a drug that significantly improves biomarkers of frailty in mice. […]
The Roles of Phenylalanine and Tyrosine in Lifespan
A recent study investigated the impact of two amino acids, phenylalanine and tyrosine, on lifespan using UK Biobank data. The researchers reported an association between tyrosine and […]
Fixing Lysosomes Improves Blood Stem Cell Function
In a recent study, scientists have demonstrated that lysosomal dysfunction actively decreases the potency of hematopoietic stem cells. Calming lysosomes reversed this process, opening avenues […]
Nanoparticles Improve Intercellular Mitochondrial Transfer
Scientists have created “nanoflowers” that nudge donor cells to produce more mitochondria, which can then be transferred to recipient cells to […]
George Church on Building “Scientific Superintelligence”
George Church, a Harvard professor and a famed geroscientist, is also known as a serial entrepreneur who has co-founded dozens of biotech companies. While Church maintains that he’s involved in them all, […]
How Senescent Cells Encourage Melanoma Growth
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have documented a key reason why older people are much more likely to get melanoma. Why older people have significantly worse melanoma cases While melanoma is much […]
The Impact of Plant Polyphenols on Ovarian Aging
A recent review in the Journal of Ovarian Research summarizes current knowledge of the impact of various polyphenols on different aspects of ovarian aging. […]
Improved Stem Cells Rejuvenate the Brains of Monkeys
Scientists have genetically modified human mesenchymal progenitor cells to express a more potent version of the “longevity gene” FOXO3, producing rejuvenative effects in […]
A Sarcopenia-Related MicroRNA May Help Pinpoint Its Origin
In Aging Cell, researchers have discovered a potential way to use a microRNA to diagnose sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle. Primary and secondary sarcopenia Previous research has been able to distinguish sarcopenia by its sources. Primary […]
NAD+ Rescues Mouse Tauopathy by Fixing Alternative Splicing
A new study reveals a surprising mechanism that might be behind the beneficial effects of NAD+ in preclinical models of Alzheimer’s [1]. […]
The Key Questions of Longevity Research
In GeroScience, a large team of researchers, including João Pedro de Magalhães, has described a hundred currently unsolved problems in the […]
