In Aging Cell, researchers have published their findings that exosomes, which we have previously reported to extend the lives of mice, also extend the lives of rats. Known to be effective Exosomes, a subset of extracellular vesicles (EVs), can be visualized as messages and packages that cells send to one another. Along with lifespan studies,...

In Aging, researchers have described how a derivative of caffeic acid inhibits osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone. A modification of a tested compound We have recently published new information on what triggers the imbalance between bone-destroying osteoclasts and bone-building osteoblasts. This is a well-known problem with aging, and researchers around the world have...

In Aging Cell, researchers have published their findings into why the inflammatory factor IL-6 inhibits cancerous tumors when generated inside the cell. IL-6 affects both senescence and cancer proliferation 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 recent preprint paper from researchers at Sachi Bio has described how this company's technology can be used to alleviate brain inflammation in a mouse model. The problem of tau Along with the infamous amyloid beta, tau is well-known as a pathological factor in both Alzheimer's and regular aging [1]. The accumulation of tau with...

An article in GeroScience describes a previously unexplored relationship between FABP7, an inflammatory molecule that binds to fatty acids, and Alzheimer's disease. Not just a transporter Originally, as the authors explain, fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) were considered to be simple biological chaperones that did not perform biological functions. Further research found that they play...

A paper published in Experimental Gerontology has detailed how a bacterially derived compound may be useful in fighting osteoporosis. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts BoneBone tissue serves as the primary structural component of our bodies. It protects our delicate inner organs, plays a key role in whole body calcium, phosphorus, and acid-base homeostasis, and allows movement to...
