In Aging, researchers have published a new study on a tool meant for analyzing macrophage senescence along with differences between inflammaging and regular inflammation. Macrophages are driven to senescence Why we Age: Cellular SenescenceAs your body ages, more of your cells become senescent. Senescent cells do not divide or support the tissues of which they...

A team of researchers has found that corylin, a compound previously investigated for its anti-senesence properties, is effective against osteoporosis in a mouse model. A return to a well-known compound Corylin is a compound that was first discovered in Psoralea corylifolia, a plant commonly used in Chinese traditional medicine. This is far from the first...

A new study suggests that increased protein intake, specifically of the amino acid leucine, can exacerbate atherosclerosis by inhibiting autophagy in macrophages [1]. Protein: friend or foe? The protein we get from food is indispensable, as it allows us to produce our own proteins, but the ideal amount of dietary protein remains an open question....

A paper published today in Nature Aging has shown that a macrophage-regulating factor has a significant impact on muscle regeneration. Healing slows with aging The researchers note two key reasons for the decline of regenerative abilities with aging. The first is stem cell exhaustion, the gradual depletion of stem cells and ensuing lack of functional...

A new study published in Nature Medicine suggests that lifelong exposure to tiny airborne particles leads to their accumulation in lymph nodes in the lungs and to impaired immune function [1]. Age-related lung diseases and pollution With age, people become more susceptible to many diseases, with the lungs being one of the most affected organs....

In a new paper, Yale scientists present encouraging data from an unprecedented human study of caloric restriction, a powerful anti-aging intervention [1]. Eat less, live more Despite all the might of today’s science, simple lifestyle choices are still the clearest option for living longer and healthier. These choices include being physically active, eating better, and...
