The Latest Longevity News Stories
A Potential Reason Why Clotting Increases With Age
In Aging Cell, researchers have described a method by which platelet-forming cells are rapidly generated from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), bypassing the intermediate cell types that are normally used to get there. Canonical and […]
Personalized Medicine Approach to Senolytics Clinical Trials
Recent commentary in Nature Aging summarized the results of clinical trials for senolytics and discussed recommendations for future clinical trials that use personalized medicine approaches [1]. From basic science to clinical trials […]
Exercise Suppresses Appetite via a Brain Pathway
Scientists have discovered a pathway behind the known effect of exercise suppressing appetite: a lactate-related metabolite that acts directly on certain neurons. Not just more calories burned It […]
AI Model Accurately Predicts Multiple Disease Risks
European scientists have created a GPT-based model that can predict the risk of more than a thousand diseases on par with single-disease tools and biomarker-based models [1]. […]
Lipid Metabolism Is Causal in Some Alzheimer’s Cases
In Aging Cell, researchers have outlined the relationship between Alzheimer’s, increased pain sensitivity, and the enzyme LPCAT2. Pain is among the earliest signs The key characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease, such as cognitive decline and brain deterioration, are very […]
Looking Back at Summer, Looking Forward to Growth
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, autumn is underway. The fall is a time when the leaves that are green turn to brown, so let us see what the Lifespan team has been working on to […]
Partial Reprogramming Rejuvenates Aged Cells and Tissues
In a recent study, researchers investigated aging- and disease-associated changes in gene expression related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Inducing the Yamanaka factors in mice allowed them to rejuvenate cells […]
A Short-Term High-Fat Diet Harms Memory in Mice
Scientists have demonstrated that even two days on a Western-like high-fat diet reduce hippocampal glucose availability, which activates a subset […]
How Macrophages Manage Obesity and Change With Age
In Nature Aging, researchers have identified and categorized several macrophage subtypes, including a subtype that appears with aging and another that manages nerve function. Not all macrophages follow the same rules Macrophages declining with age is a well-known problem, and […]
Microplastics Cause Cognitive Deficits in APOE4 Mice
Scientists have demonstrated that short-term exposure to microplastics causes Alzheimer’s-like effects in mice expressing human APOE4 versus APOE3. These effects were sex-dependent, mirroring the disease in humans [1]. Microplastics and the brain Exposure to tiny particles that plastic products shed […]
Epigenetic Clocks Do Not Perfectly Capture Metabolic Health
In Aging Cell, researchers have published their surprising findings that epigenetic clocks are not significantly related to most measurements of metabolic health after weight loss interventions. […]
Regular Glucosamine Use Linked to Fewer Chronic Diseases
An analysis of UK Biobank data showed an association between regular glucosamine use and significantly lower risks of seven non-communicable chronic diseases [1]. A common supplement […]
