Cellular senescence, a state in which cells stop dividing but resist dying, accumulating in tissues over time, has emerged as one of the most promising targets in longevity medicine. Senescent
A new study identified two polyunsaturated fatty acids, α-eleostearic acid (α-ESA) and α-ESA methyl ester (α-ESA-me), that showed senolytic activity in cell cultures and a mouse model [1]. An anti-aging
BioAge Labs, Inc. (“BioAge”, “the Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging, today provided financial results for the
In a new study, an ingenious CRISPR-based tool was used to create CAR T cells in vivo instead of the usual in vitro approach. It showed higher efficacy across three
The Buck Institute for Research on Aging today announced the launch of Healthspan Horizons, a new initiative designed to address one of the most urgent challenges in modern medicine: how
For the first time, the Neuroscience of Vitality and Aging (NOVA) Conference is bringing together leaders from across neuroscience, biotechnology, policy, and investment to examine one of the most urgent
Imagine this pitch: a simple cheek swab or blood spot mailed from home tells you not your birthday but your “true” biological age – the number that supposedly reflects your
A new study has found a negative association between unprocessed meat consumption and cognitive decline in carriers of the “pro-Alzheimer’s” APOE ε4 allele. This counterintuitive connection might have something to
Researchers publishing in Cell Reports Medicine have described the development of a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) that delivers mRNA to neurons in order to stop the formation of tau aggregates and
A new study reported an association between having more problematic people in close networks and increased biological aging [1]. A look into the dark side Social connection has been discussed
Scientists have found a positive correlation between the abundance of the bacterium Roseburia inulinivorans in the gut and muscle strength in mice and humans, although the mechanism behind it is
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have discovered that the nuclei of the cells that line injured arteries quickly become misshapen and that this leads to accelerated cellular senescence. Delivering zinc
A new study suggests that microbiome remodeling is a mechanism behind age-related cognitive decline, with one particular bacterial species identified as the likely culprit. In mice, antibiotics seem to reverse
For the third summer in a row, Longevity Xplorer (LongX) is opening applications for the Xplore Program, a fully remote summer fellowship designed to help students and early-career professionals translate
BERKELEY, CA — The Vitalism Foundation announces Vitalist Bay 2026, the world’s largest longevity festival, returning to the Lighthaven Campus in Berkeley, California from May 14–17, 2026. Now in its
