Researchers have recently published a review on how cannabis use among older adults impacts age-related conditions and longevity [1]. Cannabinoids and longevity In recent years, researchers have observed an increase in cannabis use among older adults, mostly for chronic conditions, such as arthritis, pain, sleep improvement, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. However, there is also a...

A recent study reported that long-term nicotine consumption had a positive impact on motor function in male mice. The beneficial effects were mediated by sphingolipid and NAD+ metabolism [1]. Two faces of tobacco smoking Smoking tobacco is widely considered detrimental to health for multiple good reasons, as it has been associated with increased risks of...

A recent study investigated senescence in mouse and human skeletal muscle tissue. The authors demonstrated that the antiviral drug maraviroc reduces senescence and improves muscle health in aged mice [1]. Aging muscle tissue Senescent cells are one of the hallmarks of aging. One of their key characteristics is the presence of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype...

A recent study explored the differences in the speed of organ aging. The researchers have built models that can predict the odds of diseases and mortality risk based on organ-specific proteins found in plasma [1]. Not all organs age equally Since each organ in the human body is different, the way they age also differs,...

Researchers investigated psilocybin, a psychedelic compound found in hallucinogenic mushrooms, for its anti-aging properties. They found that it extends cellular and organismal lifespan, even when administered later in life [1]. From ancient times to contemporary therapies Hallucinogenic mushrooms have a long history of use, reaching back to ancient times when people often used them for...

Researchers have analyzed molecular patterns from different tissues obtained from over 700 people and learned that smoking acts as an aging accelerator and involves molecular changes in tissues beyond those directly exposed to cigarette smoke [1]. Millions of preventable deaths Despite campaigns aimed at the reduction of tobacco smoking, it is still a very common...
