The Latest Longevity News Stories
Dietary Methionine Restriction Improves Healthspan in Mice
In a recent study, researchers investigated how restricting dietary methionine and inhibiting the tyrosine degradation pathway affects healthspan in aged mice. While affecting tyrosine didn’t show any benefits, methionine restriction improved many, but not all, measures of healthspan, […]
Nanostructures Trap Amyloid Beta, Rescuing Neurons
Scientists have created engineered nanostructures that bind monomers and oligomers of harmful amyloid beta (Aβ) protein, preventing them from entering […]
Results of a Phase 1 Trial of Senolytics for Alzheimer’s
The results of a Phase 1 trial of the well-known senolytic combination of dasatinib and quercetin (D+Q) in patients with Alzheimer’s […]
Longevity Investor Network 2024 End of Year Update
Developing technologies to defeat age-related diseases by keeping people biologically younger is the goal of the rejuvenation biotechnology field. LRI created the Longevity Investor Network (LIN) to connect promising longevity […]
Is Aging Part of the Immune System?
What is aging? Sadly, we don’t know. If we ask the experts in the field, they will give us different answers [1]. Consensus has not been reached on even the trivial definition of aging, let […]
Well-Known Researchers Discuss Personalized Aging Treatments
The Hallmarks of Aging team has returned to Cell, publishing a detailed review discussing how future methods of dealing with aging might be highly personalized. Two […]
How Apigenin May Reduce Senescence and Cancer
Screening of a natural compounds library has revealed the senomorphic properties of apigenin. This natural flavonoid also demonstrated rejuvenating effects on many aging-associated molecular features as well as physical and cognitive performance, and it […]
Gamma Delta T Cells Show Promise Against Cellular Senescence
Scientists from the Lifespan Research Institute have discovered that a subset of T cells effectively targets senescent cells and improves outcomes in a mouse model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [1]. How do we harness […]
A New Approach to Treating Aging Skin
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have found a biochemical pathway that leads skin cells to become senescent along with a potential target for future therapies. Fibroblasts have a […]
Michael Levin on Bioelectricity in Development and Aging
Michael Levin, professor at Tufts University and director of Allen Discovery Center, has been working for years on how bioelectrical patterns affect development […]
Young Microbiota Transfer Reduces Aging Aspects in Mice
In a recent study, lifelong, repeated microbiota transfer from young mice to old mice improves intestinal permeability, coordinative ability, and metabolic profiles while reducing pro-inflammatory responses […]
TFEB Lets Cells Live Long Enough to Become Senescent
In Aging Cell, researchers have explained how transcription factor EB (TFEB) is related to cellular senescence and keeps stressed cells alive. Inactivated by mTOR Yesterday, we reported on TFEB’s effects on proteostasis and how it has downstream functions […]
