The Latest Longevity News Stories
NYC Woman Dead After Receiving a “Longevity Infusion”
According to the experts that we spoke to, the death, which followed an intravenous NAD⁺ infusion that went catastrophically wrong, underscores the risks of unproven treatments and the need for rigorous longevity medicine. Earlier this […]
More Autophagy Reduces Toxin-Induced Kidney Failure in Mice
Autophagy, which increases in younger mice under toxic stress, does not increase in older mice and leaves them susceptible to acute kidney injury (AKI). Increasing autophagic flux by targeting a […]
The Progress and Future of Biological Aging Clocks
A recent review discusses the development of biological aging clocks, their capabilities and limitations, the discoveries they enabled, and possible future developments in this area [1]. How do we measure aging? Developments in science […]
Regular Training Erases Parts of Muscle Aging Signature
A new study suggests that regular planned exercise, not just being generally active, protects against certain aspects of muscle aging [1]. Are trained muscles younger? With age, skeletal muscles lose strength, metabolic flexibility, and […]

Peripheral Inflammation May Drive Parkinson’s
A new study suggests that aging or Parkinson’s-triggering mutations create inflammation in peripheral tissues, and then circulating extracellular vesicles spread it to the brain, which might contribute to the disease [1]. Brain on fire Nature made the brain remarkably […]
Combining Senolytics and Stem Cells Shows Promise in Mice
A new study associated with Immorta Bio suggests that combining a senolytic vaccine with mesenchymal stem cells might create a synergistic impact. However, the findings rest on acute, artificially induced injury models rather […]
An Experimental Proposal for Blocking Ambient Radiation
A perspective published in Aging and Disease has recommended the use of underground laboratory space in order to remove the […]
Optimizing Guidelines Toward Optimal Health Outcomes
In a recently published perspective paper, the author argues that the UK’s official health guidelines on physical activity and protein intake should be revised to recommend levels necessary to achieve optimal health, rather than the bare minimum currently […]
