The thymus
Publishing in Aging Cell, researchers have devised a way to delay the aging of the thymus by targeting GPR40, a key receptor in its epithelial cells. The organ that involutes The thymus trains a certain subset of immune cells, which are named T cells due to their relationship with it. As the thymus ages, its...
Forever Healthy Foundation
Today, Forever Healthy announces the launch of a set of new tools to make it easier than ever for AI agents, research pipelines, and AI environments to integrate Evipedia. Evipedia is Forever Healthy's comprehensive, continuously updated online encyclopedia dedicated to providing much-needed, accurate, and up-to-date information on a wide range of health and longevity-related interventions....
Brain and peripherals
A new study suggests that aging or Parkinson’s-triggering mutations create inflammation in peripheral tissues, and then circulating extracellular vesicles spread it to the brain, which might contribute to the disease [1]. Brain on fire Nature made the brain remarkably well-protected, including from the elements by the skull and from pathogens by the blood-brain barrier (BBB)....
Gabriel Cian Interview
In this follow-up interview, we speak with Gabriel Cian about how the 2060 ecosystem has evolved since last year’s Forum, what he learned from the first edition, and how he is thinking about investment, scientific credibility, health optimization, policy, and the future of longevity in Europe. Last year, we spoke about your path from software...
Cells versus cells
A new study associated with Immorta Bio suggests that combining a senolytic vaccine with mesenchymal stem cells might create a synergistic impact. However, the findings rest on acute, artificially induced injury models rather than natural aging [1]. Clearing out senescent cells to help stem cells work Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies have largely underperformed in...
Underground laboratory
A perspective published in Aging and Disease has recommended the use of underground laboratory space in order to remove the effects of surface radiation on biological clocks. A question of entropy The cascading failure of bodily systems, leading to the loss of organ function, sits downstream of fundamental damage to genomics and epigenomics. However, how...
