For the last several years, Dr. José Pedro Castro, a Gladyshev Lab alumnus, who is now Assistant Researcher and Project Principal Investigator at the Institute for Research and Innovation in Health at the University of Porto, has been studying inflammation and its crucial role in aging and disease. Earlier this month, he received the Rising...

Montana’s first experimental treatment review board has brought three longevity heavyweights into the state’s effort to expand access to experimental therapies. How much regulation is too much? Many people in the longevity field will tell you that regulation is holding it back. Sensible oversight of novel therapies is essential, but an overly cautious interpretation of...

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 week, Elizabeth Baron, a 27-year-old woman from New York City, died after receiving an intravenous infusion at a local “wellness...

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 mitochondrial capacity. While regular exercise slows many aspects of functional aging [2], just how deeply training affects the molecular state of...

Scientists have engineered an enzyme that removes an advanced glycation end product (AGE) from proteins. This type of age-related modification, which affects protein function and can trigger inflammation, has previously been considered extremely hard to reverse [1]. Can we rejuvenate proteins? Many proteins are continually broken down and replaced. Others, especially proteins of the extracellular...

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 well-protected, including from the elements by the skull and from pathogens by the blood-brain barrier (BBB)....
