A team of researchers has discovered that mitochondrial health and location may be critical to why cognitive plasticity decreases with age. Old mammals and new tricks The adage 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks' is true across a wide variety of organisms; neural plasticity decreases with age in rodents, non-human primates, and people...

Clonal hematopoiesis, a condition linked to numerous age-related disorders, can be caused by overachieving mitochondria, and it may be susceptible to drugs such as MitoQ and metformin [1]. The attack of the clones The human body constantly produces vast numbers of blood cells from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Over time, some HSPCs may...

In Aging, researchers have published negative results on the long-term use of methylene blue and mitoquinone (MitoQ), two popular antioxidants, to sustain bone health in mice. Oxidative stress and bone health Previous work has found that oxidative stress, which is commonly associated with age-related disease and damage, is related to bone diseases. Substantial amounts of...
