The Latest Longevity News Stories
Impact of Butter and Plant-Based Oils on Mortality
A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that a higher intake of butter is associated with increased mortality while a higher intake of plant-based oils is associated with reduced mortality [1]. Fats: the good, the bad, and […]
Immune Resilience Is a Strong Determinant of Mortality
A new study defines the concept of immune resilience and positions it as a central determinant of aging trajectories, linking it to survival, inflammation control, and the body’s ability to withstand stress [1]. Keeping the balance Geroscientists have long suspected […]
How Extracellular Vesicles From Stem Cells Fight Senescence
Researchers have discovered a cocktail of micro-RNA strands that make some extracellular vesicles (EVs) effective in reducing cellular senescence and published their findings in Aging Cell. A new […]
OS-01 Peptide Tested in Skin Aging Pilot Study
A recent study featured in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology has analyzed the impact of a topical product containing OS-01. This is […]
How Fisetin May Fight Blood Vessel Calcification
In Aging, researchers have described how the well-known supplement fisetin may fight calcification of the blood vessels, seeing significant successes in […]
Technology Use Associated With Reduced Cognitive Impairment
New research suggests that digital technologies provide beneficial effects on cognition in middle-aged and older adults who did not grow up with such technologies [1]. Childhood without computers For younger people, it is difficult […]
Researchers Fight Some Mutations by Targeting Mitochondria
Clonal hematopoiesis, a condition linked to numerous age-related disorders, can be caused by overachieving mitochondria, and it may be susceptible to drugs such as MitoQ and metformin [1]. The attack of the clones The human body constantly produces vast […]
A Senescence-Related Target for Blood Vessel Formation
In Aging Cell, researchers have linked macrophage senescence to the failure of new blood vessel formation, finding a key target that might […]
Researchers Use Big Data to Find a Longevity Target
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have used large databases to discover a causal relationship between multiple genes and overall mortality risk, finding a new potential target in the process. Putting -omics databases to work These researchers […]
Senolytics Decrease Low Back Pain in Mice
Researchers have tested a synthetic and natural senolytic combination of RG-7112 and o-vanillin in mice with early-onset low back pain and disc degeneration. They observed reduced signs of back pain; decreased […]
Results of a Crowdfunded One-Year Human Rapamycin Trial
In Aging, Dr. Sajid Zalzala and his team have published the results of Participatory Evaluation of Aging with Rapamycin for Longevity (PEARL), a randomized, controlled human clinical trial that was crowdfunded by Lifespan.io. Crowdfunded research bears fruit Four […]
Neurons Hidden to Immune Cells Improve Parkinson’s in Rats
By tweaking genes used by placental and cancerous cells to evade immune detection, scientists have created non-immunogenic neuronal grafts that may help Parkinson’s patients [1]. Sneakiness needed In recent years, scientists have learned to produce cells via cellular reprogramming, […]
