Scientists have proposed a hypothesis that immune aging might be necessary to shield people from autoimmune effects, as the repertoire of autoantigens expands […]
Researchers have discovered that exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells derived from human umbilical cord tissue (hucMSC-Exos) restore muscle function in a mouse model of sarcopenia. Useful messengers Exosomes […]
Working with data from a smartphone app, scientists have shown for the first time that relocating to a more walkable city is linked to increased daily step counts [1]. Most of the increase consists of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), […]
BioAge Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOA) (“BioAge”, “the Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology […]
In Cell Reports Medicine, researchers have published a detailed review on the relationship between cardiovascular disease and the age-related inflammation known as inflammaging. The immune […]
Researchers have recently published a review on how cannabis use among older adults impacts age-related conditions and longevity [1]. Cannabinoids and longevity In […]
Dr. Nir Barzilai, the director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, among his many […]
In Aging, researchers have reported on how an increase in FGF21, a myokine that encourages muscle growth, impacts the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Progressive and fatal ALS is an age-related disease that is characterized […]
Scientists have demonstrated that injecting healthy mitochondria either systematically or directly into the tumor microenvironment boosts the efficiency of a standard anti-cancer therapy [1]. Mitochondria’s dual role […]
Mountain View, California — Lifespan Research Institute, a nonprofit leader in longevity science and advocacy, announces the launch of the Lifespan Alliance, a sponsorship initiative uniting mission-driven companies and visionary organizations dedicated to extending healthy human lifespan. Member […]
Researchers have found that growing older cells in a youthful medium causes them to behave and function more like younger cells, suggesting a new method of creating stem cell-based therapies. Cultivating patient-derived cells For some […]
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 […]
Join us on August 23, 2025, at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, MA, for a full-day summit exploring the frontiers of human potential and longevity. The 2025 Human Augmentation Summit is […]
Using a pathogen-originated protein and a human antibody, scientists have created a chimeric construct that can deliver protein cargo via the […]
Researchers have developed a transcription-based clock that estimates brain age and used it to identify potential interventions against age-related neurodegeneration. Deciding which -omic to use While neurodegeneration and brain aging are not precisely the […]
A new study has shown that, unlike many other glucose-lowering drugs, metformin is regulated by the protein Ras1 in a specific subset […]
Summer is heating things up, both in the Northern Hemisphere and in the world of rejuvenation biotechnology. Here’s what’s happened […]
Researchers publishing in Nature Aging have discovered how Alzheimer’s-related protein aggregates are also related to senescent cells and osteoporosis. Beyond […]
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 […]
In downtown San Francisco, an entire tower is becoming a hub for longevity, AI, crypto, and robotics. It just hosted its first longevity conference. How does a group conquer […]
In the Cell journal iScience, researchers have published their discovery of a protein that inhibits osteoarthritis in mice by diminishing fatty acid production. Fats in the wrong […]
A massive new meta-analysis confirms that 10,000 daily steps are not required for most of the health benefits of walking. Around 7,000 seems to […]
Researchers publishing in Cell Stem Cell have investigated the function of the gene DNMT3A and found that it has wide-ranging effects beyond methylation. More effects than […]
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 […]
Scientists have creatively used large databases of existing FDA-approved drugs and electronic medical records to locate candidates that are potentially effective against Alzheimer’s [1]. New approaches […]
Researchers publishing in Nature Aging have discovered that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from antler blastema progenitor cells (ABPCs) restore bone mass to rhesus macaques. Finding the most effective EVs In the world of rejuvenation research, EVs are nothing new. We […]
Scientists have created an AI model that stratifies Alzheimer’s patients into subgroups that progress slowly or rapidly. When applied to a real-world failed trial, it […]
In Molecular Therapy, researchers have described their creation of cells that express the regenerative factor GDF11 and found that they ameliorate fibrosis in a mouse model. Context-dependent benefits Like sirtuins and klotho, GDF11 is a biochemical […]
Immortal Dragons, a purpose-driven longevity fund headquartered in Singapore, today announced its unique approach to investing in radical life extension technologies. With $40 million in assets under management (AUM), Immortal Dragons is poised to redefine how […]
