Small vessel disease (SVD) causes damage to small arteries and capillaries that reduces blood flow to sensitive organs like the eye, brain, and kidney and can be triggered by aging, high blood pressure, and genetic abnormalities. Retinal vasculopathy w… Continue reading Genetics of aging uncovered with rare disease discovery
By combining brain scans and nutritional intake data, a new study has found a nutrient profile that puts the brakes on brain aging. What’s more, that profile matches an easy-to-follow popular eating plan that’s been proven to convey multiple benefits.C… Continue reading Nutrient profile of popular diet linked to slower brain aging
Healthcare workers have urged for a greater duty of care with older adults who start taking common blood pressure medicines, with a new study highlighting that they’re more than twice as likely to experience fall-related fractures after commencing trea… Continue reading Blood pressure drugs double the risk of bone fractures in older adults
Dietary fiber is known to reduce blood pressure, but there’ve been no guides on how much you need to eat to reap the rewards – until now. A new study has confirmed that dietary fiber lowered blood pressure independently of medication and quantified how… Continue reading How much dietary fiber do you need to reduce high blood pressure?
Tardigrades are famously tough little critters, and good for them – but what’s in it for us? We might now be closer to hijacking their superpowers for our own benefit, with a new study finding that tardigrade proteins can protect human cells from damag… Continue reading Tardigrade proteins upgrade damage resistance of human cells
If you have ever been unlucky enough to get stuck on a poorly ventilated form of public transport just as a pack of high schoolers get on board after a long day, you will know that teenagers smell bad. It’s an objective fact. They stink.Continue Readin… Continue reading Why babies smell nice but teenagers smell like goats
Sleep apnea can negatively impact health and well-being, but treatment is limited to poorly tolerated positive pressure masks (CPAP) and, in the worst cases, surgery. However, in a recent trial, a nasal spray showed promise as a treatment for the most … Continue reading First sleep apnea drug reduces severity in 70% of trial cases
A drug currently used as a second- or third-line treatment for those with rheumatoid arthritis has shown huge promise as a preventative, stopping the onset of the debilitating disease in 92.8% of at-risk participants after 12 months.

Researchers have used reprogrammed CAR T cells, usually used as a cancer treatment, to target the senescent cells that contribute to aging and later-life diseases. After one treatment, old mice showed improved metabolism and exercise tolerance, while y… Continue reading Reprogrammed T cells make mice (and maybe us) age slower
