The Latest Longevity News Stories
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 and aging. His research proves that […]
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 [1]. Small in size, but mighty in […]
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 […]
Limiting One Protein Maintenance Pathway Enhances Another
In Aging Cell, researchers have explored how transcription factor EB (TFEB) promotes proteostasis in a common aging model. Maintaining protein function Proteostasis is naturally maintained by a quality control […]
Playing the Long Game Towards Radical Life Extension
For most of the history of human civilization, humanity expanded at an astonishing pace: faster than exponential, nearly hyperbolic. This trend was famously described in a 1960 paper by Heinz von […]
Rejuvenation Roundup April 2025
While computer technology continues to accelerate, human beings still have to contend with age-related disease and death. Here’s some of what’s been done to support longer, healthier lives in April. A Lifespan.io Project Bears Fruit […]
Impact of Butter and Plant-Based Oils on Mortality
A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that a higher intake of butter is associated with increased mortality while a higher intake of plant-based oils is associated with reduced mortality [1]. Fats: the good, the bad, and the ugly […]
Immune Resilience Is a Strong Determinant of Mortality
A new study defines the concept of immune resilience and positions it as a central determinant of aging trajectories, linking it to survival, inflammation control, and the body’s ability to withstand stress [1]. Keeping the balance […]
How Extracellular Vesicles From Stem Cells Fight Senescence
Researchers have discovered a cocktail of micro-RNA strands that make some extracellular vesicles (EVs) effective in reducing cellular senescence and published […]
OS-01 Peptide Tested in Skin Aging Pilot Study
A recent study featured in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology has analyzed the impact of a topical product containing OS-01. This is a senotherapeutic peptide that targets senescence, affecting the skin’s barrier function and multiple aging […]
How Fisetin May Fight Blood Vessel Calcification
In Aging, researchers have described how the well-known supplement fisetin may fight calcification of the blood vessels, seeing significant successes in both cellular and mouse models. When calcium goes where it doesn’t belong Calcification is not the same as ‘hardening’ […]
