The Latest Longevity News Stories
Serotonin Signals Suppress Physical Activity in Aging Mice
A new study has found that increased production of serotonin by neurons in a particular brain region inhibits dopamine production and willingness to move, causing loss of activity. Killing serotonin-producing neurons reversed the effect [1]. Can’t or won’t? Physical activity […]
A New Target for Fighting Tau Tangles in Neurons
Researchers have found that HDAC7 bridges together GSK3β and hyperphosphorylated tau protein (hTau) in neurons, which may spur Alzheimer’s disease. […]
The Short Peptide Elamipretide Delays Ovarian Aging in Mice
A recent study showed that a treatment with the short peptide elamipretide reversed multiple signs of age-related decline in oocyte quality in mice and in human oocytes in vitro [1]. An early decline In females, the reproductive system ages […]
A Supplement Kills Senescent Cells and Extends Life in Mice
A new study shows healthspan and lifespan increases in male mice following late-life treatment with vanadyl sulfate, a food-derived molecule marketed as an over-the-counter supplement [1]. Searching for vulnerabilities In a new study published in […]
Inflammaging and Poor Sleep Contribute to One Another
After a review of substantial literature, scientists publishing in Aging Cell have concluded that poor sleep quality and inflammaging worsen each other […]
Longevity Supplement Improved Blood Vessels in a Human Trial
In a clinical trial, the supplement NOVOS Core was associated with significant improvements in artery function and systolic blood pressure. It is unknown which particular ingredients are responsible for the effect [1]. To the Core […]
Momentum on Two Fronts for Rejuvenation
This month has been marked by progress in both the regulatory and investment sides of rejuvenation biotechnology. For years, the field has faced […]
Why Male Mice Lose Anti-Cancer Immunity Earlier
A new study found that shrinking reserves of naive T cells weaken tumor recognition in male mice by middle age more than in females. […]
Rejuvenation Roundup October 2026
As the weather cools down, the race for functional interventions heats up, and members of our field have been looking for ways […]
An Anti-Senescence Vaccine Increases Mouse Lifespan
In a new study, late-life treatment with a three-element senolytic vaccine led to lower senescence markers and a 12% increase in median lifespan in female B6 mice. However, short-lived controls complicate the picture […]
An Astrocytic Factor Slows Whole-Body Aging in Mice
In Aging Cell, researchers have described how increasing fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13) in astrocytes reduces aging throughout the bodies of mice. A factor from a well-known family FGFs are signaling molecules that share structural and functional commonalities […]
Rejuvenation Factor Extends Lifespan and Healthspan in Mice
A recent study identified SRSF1, an RNA-processing and splicing factor, as a molecule with geroprotective potential. Inducing SRSF1 expression rejuvenated human cells in vitro, extended lifespan, and significantly reduced frailty in […]
