The Latest Longevity News Stories
How Fisetin May Fight Blood Vessel Calcification
In Aging, researchers have described how the well-known supplement fisetin may fight calcification of the blood vessels, seeing significant successes in both cellular and mouse models. When calcium goes where it doesn’t belong Calcification is not the […]
Technology Use Associated With Reduced Cognitive Impairment
New research suggests that digital technologies provide beneficial effects on cognition in middle-aged and older adults who did not grow up with such technologies [1]. Childhood without computers For younger people, it is difficult to imagine living […]
Researchers Fight Some Mutations by Targeting Mitochondria
Clonal hematopoiesis, a condition linked to numerous age-related disorders, can be caused by overachieving mitochondria, and it may be susceptible to drugs such […]
A Senescence-Related Target for Blood Vessel Formation
In Aging Cell, researchers have linked macrophage senescence to the failure of new blood vessel formation, finding a key target that might make it easier to treat arterial clogs. Macrophages can impair blood vessel […]
Researchers Use Big Data to Find a Longevity Target
Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have used large databases to discover a causal relationship between multiple genes and overall mortality risk, finding […]
Senolytics Decrease Low Back Pain in Mice
Researchers have tested a synthetic and natural senolytic combination of RG-7112 and o-vanillin in mice with early-onset low back pain […]
Results of a Crowdfunded One-Year Human Rapamycin Trial
In Aging, Dr. Sajid Zalzala and his team have published the results of Participatory Evaluation of Aging with Rapamycin for Longevity (PEARL), a randomized, controlled human clinical trial that was […]
Neurons Hidden to Immune Cells Improve Parkinson’s in Rats
By tweaking genes used by placental and cancerous cells to evade immune detection, scientists have created non-immunogenic neuronal grafts that may help Parkinson’s patients [1]. Sneakiness needed In recent years, scientists have learned to produce cells via cellular reprogramming, […]
How Exercise May Fight Parkinson’s Disease
Experimenting on rodents, researchers have found a pathway through which exercise could fight Parkinson’s disease and a molecule that might recapitulate this effect. Fighting inflammation is […]
Dietary Patterns Associated With Healthy Aging
A recent study investigated the impact of eight different mid-life dietary patterns on the odds of healthy aging, including cognitive, […]
Fasting Affects the Immune System via the Brain
A new study has found that the immune remodeling associated with fasting can be recapitulated by activating a subset of neurons in the hypothalamus. The findings could be important in the context of fasting mimicking, metabolic […]
Reprogramming Epigenetics to Fight Back Pain
A new paper published in the Nature journal Bone Research has found that reprogramming the epigenetics of spinal disc cells reduces senescence and alleviates pain in a rat model. The soft tissue degrades Nucleus pulposus cells, which […]
