Junyue Cao Interview
Dr. Junyue Cao is a professor at the Rockefeller University, and his lab develops ultra-high-throughput single-cell technologies and applies them to the biology of aging. In a recent paper published in Science, his team used a technique called EasySci-ATAC to profile chromatin accessibility in about seven million cells from 21 mouse tissues across three ages,...
Creatine powder
In a new study, the popular supplement creatine seemed to add to some of the beneficial effects of power training [1]. Trying the combination in older people Exercise might be the most potent anti-aging intervention known to humans, but with age, building strength and muscle mass becomes harder. Also, not all types of exercise are...
Robot doctor
A new study has pit an advanced large language model against human physicians in tasks involving complex reasoning, treatment recommendations, and messy real-world patient records [1]. Testing a “thinking” model The dream of a ‘computer doctor’ has existed since at least 1959 [2], but until the recent rise of large language models, no computer program...
Obese mouse and healthy mouse
A new study has suggested that T cells might retain a pro-inflammatory phenotype long after normal weight is regained following a period of obesity. In mice, the effect lasts for weeks, while its existence and duration in humans are to be determined [1]. The inflammation that stays Obesity is a chronic, relapsing condition linked to...
Heart attack
A new study has found that partial reprogramming mitigates the damage of myocardial infarction in mice by helping heart muscle cells to complete division [1]. When heart cells get stuck When a heart attack (myocardial infarction, MI) kills a patch of heart muscle, the adult mammalian heart cannot replace it, since the lost contractile muscle...

According to a new study, rapamycin probably interferes with exercise, blunting its effects in older human subjects. This result, however, might be specific to the particular protocol. Can they work together? Physical activity is one of the most potent pro-longevity interventions currently available [2]. Rapamycin is the undisputed champion of small molecules for extending lifespan...
