Predicting a Species’ Longevity Through Epigenetics
A preprint study published on bioRxiv discusses how a species’ maximum lifespan can be predicted by its epigenetics, showing that these differences are largely unaffected by interventions. Differences and similarities in […]
Aging Might Blunt the Effects of Fasting
Scientists have found that in killifish, old age is associated with a dampened response to fasting and identified the protein that might be […]
Some HIV-Fighting Drugs May Also Fight Aging
Publishing in Ageing Research Reviews, a team of researchers including Vera Gorbunova has described how a class of drugs originally used to treat HIV might be used to affect some of the hallmarks […]
Dual-Purpose Molecular Targets for Cancer and Aging
A new study published in Aging Cell applied an artificial intelligence target discovery platform to aid in identifying potential dual-purpose […]
Young People More Vulnerable to Atherosclerosis Risk Factors
A new study suggests that increases in LDL cholesterol and systolic blood pressure elevate the risk of atherosclerosis progression more in younger than in older people. The good news is that this can be reversed [1]. Creeping atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis […]
A Lack of Skin Collagen May Encourage Cancer Growth
A new paper published in Nature has described how the aging extracellular matrix makes it easier for cancer to grow. When cancer is skin […]
An Anonymous Longevity Enthusiast Unmasks Himself
A prolific anonymous poster who became popular in the longevity community has revealed his identity, and other longevity luminaries have chimed in. The anonym Anonymity is seldom practiced in […]
Pushing Forward on Understanding Cellular Decline
Researchers publishing in Nature Aging have investigated one of the core biological reasons behind the decline of stem cells’ ability to proliferate. Heterochromatin and euchromatin The genetic […]
Plant-Based Alternatives Are Associated With Less Disease
A new meta-analysis has found that in many cases, switching from an animal product to a plant-based alternative is associated with less cardiovascular, diabetes, and all-cause mortality risk [1]. Supplant with […]
Senolytics May Work Against Long COVID in the Brain
A new publication in Nature Aging has used organoids and model mice to discover that senolytics may be effective treatments for neurodegeneration caused by long COVID. A link between COVID-19 and cellular senescence Post-acute infection syndromes […]
How Rejuvenation Benefits Children and Families
Rejuvenation biotechnology promises several benefits for individuals, but this technology, if thorough and widely adopted, would benefit larger groups of people, including your friends and family. If you […]
