The Latest Longevity News Stories
How Exercise Preserves Function in Motor Nerves
In Aging Cell, researchers have described the specific cell types that give exercise protective effects against motor nerve degeneration. A different level of back […]
Dietary Diversity Is Associated With Delayed Aging
An analysis of data from over twenty thousand people has indicated that greater dietary diversity is associated with slower biological aging […]
Intranasal Spray Alleviates Early Alzheimer’s in Mice
A novel therapy based on induced neuronal stem cells shows promise in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease – and it can be administered intranasally [1]. Who needs cells? Stem cell […]
Engineering T Cells to Fight Brain Cancer
Researchers publishing in Nature have reported a new advance in developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells to fight solid tumors in the brain. A difficult endeavor CAR T cell-based therapies are normally discussed in the context of […]
Study of Direct Reprogramming Challenges Consensus
Scientists have shown that in a direct cellular reprogramming scenario, neurons are produced almost exclusively by a rare subtype of multipotent cells. Their findings, they claim, change our understanding of reprogramming, but not everyone agrees […]
Preventing Alzheimer’s Proteins From Accumulating
Boosting a key autophagy-related protein discourages a core component of Alzheimer’s from taking hold, according to a study published in Aging Cell. Taking out the trash Autophagy is the maintenance process of the […]
A Senolytic Accelerates Reproductive Aging in Aged Mice
In a new study, researchers tested the impact of the senolytic drug ABT-263 on the reproductive systems of old female mice. ABT-263 treatment did not rescue age-related changes in hormonal levels, further depleted ovarian reserves, and didn’t improve […]
Rozalyn Anderson Explains Caloric Restriction
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Rozalyn Anderson is studying one of the oldest-known and yet most powerful anti-aging interventions: caloric restriction […]
Rejuvenating the Hippocampus With Metabolites
Researchers have reported in Aging Cell that injecting specific one-carbon metabolites into the hippocampus can rejuvenate its cells. A small molecule approach Epigenetic alterations have been found to impact the neuroplasticity of the brain, leading to problems with […]
AI in Longevity: The Reality Today
Back in 2006, a website called “The Death Clock” appeared on the internet, with a promise to answer one of life’s greatest questions: “When will […]
Extracellular Vesicles for Treating Arthritis
A study in Pharmacological Research has found that small extracellular vesicles derived from embryonic stem cells (ESC-sEVs) alleviate osteoarthritis in cells and mice. Restoring senescent cells’ function Excessive senescent cell buildup […]
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Rejuvenate Aged Mice
In a new study, the researchers administered human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs) to aged mice and observed reduced degeneration in multiple organs, changes to microbial composition, metabolic alterations, improvements in behavior and ability, and reduced fearfulness [1]. Therapeutic […]
