New research has found that reducing the intake of a single amino acid, isoleucine, by two-thirds, improved the lifespan, weight, and health of middle-aged mice without requiring a drop in calorie intake. The findings suggest that limiting dietary leve… Continue reading Reducing intake of one amino acid improves longevity & health in mice
Experimenting on lab-grown mini-brains and mice, researchers have found that SARS-CoV-19 infection can cause ‘zombie’ cells to accumulate, contributing to the brain fog associated with long COVID, and have identified drugs that can reverse this virus-r… Continue reading Drugs identified that may reverse brain fog caused by COVID-19
In some heartening news for the 80% of Americans who will endure lower back pain in their lifetime, researchers have found that an existing drug can be redeployed to target ‘sleeping’, or senescent, osteoclast cells to significantly reduce spinal hyper… Continue reading Existing drug boots out ‘sleeping’ bone cells to relieve lower back pain
There are currently dozens of different molecules and compounds at trial stage, as scientists across the globe search for the knockout anti-aging drug, but most have a common thread: finding a way to keep our old cells firing on all cylinders, while simultaneously making sure they remain savvy microbiological recyclers.

Researchers have found that when used on monkeys, an experimental drug slowed the process that leads the tau protein to aggregate into neuron-damaging tangles commonly seen in Alzheimer’s disease and improved the animals’ cognitive functioning. The next step is to develop a drug that can be used in humans.

The single-cell parasite Toxoplasma gondii is well known for triggering risky behavior in hosts, in order to facilitate easier transmission, and can cause serious mental and physical conditions. But now this tiny bug that thrives in cats (via rats and … Continue reading Hell-no Kitty: Cat parasite linked to speeding up age-related frailty
In what will soon be commonplace in drug research, scientists have used an artificial-intelligence algorithmic program to identify a compound, currently used in antimalarial treatment, that can effectively reverse the bone deterioration of osteoporosis… Continue reading AI used in identifying an antimalarial drug that can reverse osteoporosis
A new study has investigated the biological mechanisms brought about by calorie restriction and found that a moderate reduction in calorie intake can improve muscle health and activate biological pathways important for good health.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Calorie restriction stimulates muscle health & healthy aging genes
A new study has found that renting privately is more strongly associated with faster biological aging – how old your cells are regardless of actual age – than unemployment or being an ex-smoker. The findings highlight the important link between housing… Continue reading Renting ages your cells faster than unemployment or being an ex-smoker
Researchers have called for a review of current recommendations for treatment of hand osteoarthritis, after a broad study revealed that injections were shown to be as effective as a placebo in relieving pain. Looking at 72 studies involving 7,609 parti… Continue reading Call to revise hand arthritis treatments due to efficacy concerns
