Researchers publishing in GeroScience have found that carotid artery stenosis, a consequence of hypertension, is linked to a lack of blood flow in the eyes. A disease that restricts blood flow to the brain Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is a dangerous condition that is strongly associated with stroke [1]. It occurs when plaque build-up occludes...

The newest study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences investigates the role senescent cells may play in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and how senolytic therapy may be beneficial for those recovering from stroke. Stroke and reperfusion injury Ischemic stroke occurs when an artery in the brain is occluded, preventing an area of brain tissue...

In a study published in Aging, Chinese researchers have described how they used computer modeling in order to create a new rapalog that is designed to reduce the long-term impact of stroke. Reperfusion injury, autophagy, and mTORC1 Stroke and other ischemic events, such as heart attack, occur when a blockage causes blood to stop flowing...

In the largest study of its kind to date, researchers have revealed that a considerable part of all deaths from ischemic heart disease and stroke worldwide is caused by working long hours [1]. Beware of Karoshi What can we do to live longer until science can produce a suitable solution to aging? One of the...

Researchers at the Buck Institute, including Dr. Judy Campisi, have published a new study that shows, for the first time, that senescent cells are associated with age-related blood clots [1]. As we get older, increasing numbers of our cells enter into a state known as cellular senescence. Senescent cells do not divide or support the...

Hypertension is an increasingly encountered condition in modern society, as sedentary lifestyles, poor diet, and other unhealthy lifestyle choices are becoming more prevalent. The aging processes generally cause our blood pressure to rise, as they steadily clog our arteries, stiffen blood vessels, and cause our hearts to work harder to get blood to all our...
