The Latest Longevity News Stories
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 disease begins […]
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 of older people suffer from delirium after surgery [1], which rises to around half if […]
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 pipeline. More than […]
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 […]
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 […]
Rejuvenation Roundup March 2026
For many hundreds of years, Easter has been associated with rebirth and rejuvenation. Let’s see what’s been done last month to rejuvenate animals and people. Team and Activities Support the Human Ageing Genomic Resources: João […]
Modified Immune Cells Target Cancer’s Metabolic Signature
Arming NK and T cells with metabolite-sensing receptors enhances their ability to infiltrate tumors and improves cancer outcomes in mice in a new study [1]. How to get immune cells […]
How a Growth Factor and SIRT1 Might Combat Disc Degeneration
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have discovered that using FGF21 to upregulate the sirtuin SIRT1 delays spinal disc degeneration in a rat model. A common cause of lower back problems Intervertebral disc […]
Mitochondria Delivery Method Rescues Parkinson’s in Mice
Scientists used red blood cells as membrane donors to encapsulate healthy mitochondria and send them into diseased cells, achieving improvements across multiple models and conditions [1]. The delivery problem Mitochondrial diseases […]
Cellular Senescence and Senotherapeutics: The Expert Roundup
Cellular senescence, a state in which cells stop dividing but resist dying, accumulating in tissues over time, has emerged as one of the most promising targets in longevity medicine. Senescent cells actually serve important […]
Two Polyunsaturated Lipids Demonstrate Senolytic Activity
A new study identified two polyunsaturated fatty acids, α-eleostearic acid (α-ESA) and α-ESA methyl ester (α-ESA-me), that showed senolytic activity […]
In Vivo Created CAR T Cells Eliminate Tumors in Mice
In a new study, an ingenious CRISPR-based tool was used to create CAR T cells in vivo instead of the usual in vitro approach. It showed higher efficacy across three cancer types, […]
