Bacterium From Frogs Completely Destroys Colon Cancer

Scientists in Japan have discovered that multiple strains of bacteria taken from frogs, newts, and lizards can be effective against human colon cancer in a mouse model. One particular microbe achieved a perfect response rate and survival [1]. Bacteria against cancer Recent research has illuminated the enormous impact of the microbiome on overall health. Microbes...

Producing Thymic Factors in the Liver Rejuvenates Immunity

A new study proposes a novel approach to fighting immune system decline caused by thymic involution: making the liver produce proteins that support T cell development and function [1]. Bringing back the Ts Immunosenescence, the gradual deterioration of the immune system, is a central aspect of aging. Research has tied it to increased cancer incidence,...

Maximina Yun on the Wonders of the Axolotl

Dr. Maximina Yun, principal investigator at Chinese Institutes for Medical Research in Beijing (CIMR), studies some of the most amazing animals in the world: salamanders, a group of amphibians that includes newts and species such as the universally loved axolotl. On top of being cute, salamanders possess unparalleled regeneration abilities for vertebrates, being able to...

Senescence Exacerbated by Mitochondrial RNA Leakage

Scientists have investigated a little-known mechanism that fuels cellular senescence: mitochondrial RNA leaking into the cytoplasm. Targeting this mechanism showed promise in a mouse model of fatty liver [1]. The new target The increasing abundance of senescent cells with age has been linked to numerous diseases and is considered a hallmark of aging. Understanding why...

Molecule From Chocolate Linked to Slower Epigenetic Aging

A new observational study spanning two human cohorts has found a link between theobromine, a phytochemical abundant in cocoa, and slower epigenetic aging [1]. A yummy geroprotector? Popular wisdom has it that not many things in life are both healthy and delicious, but according to research, one of them is chocolate. Studies have repeatedly linked...

Stem Cell-Derived Vesicles Improve Cognition in Aged Monkeys

In a new study, extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improved spatial working memory in rhesus macaques, suggesting a possible reversal of age-related cognitive decline [1]. The “normal” decline Even “healthy” aging (not accompanied by obvious age-related diseases such as dementia) leads to cognitive impairments, particularly in working memory, executive function, and...
