It’s well documented that vitamin B12, or cobalamin, helps red blood cells form and facilitates DNA synthesis that protects genetic mutations in our cells. It is also crucial in the development and ongoing function of our brain and nerve cells. Now, sc… Continue reading Vitamin B12 helps reprogram cells to heal tissue & fight chronic disease
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
If you’ve ever started a new exercise plan or diet, you’ll most likely have been told many times that consistency is the key to reaching goals. Now, scientists for the first time have found that sticking to a daily routine of when you work out could be… Continue reading For happy bones and joints, exercise at the same time of day
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.

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
If you’ve ever misjudged the potency of a dollop of wasabi on your sushi, you’ll be well versed in its ability to clear sinuses and, for a moment, have you feeling like you can see through space and time.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Tohoku Un… Continue reading Wasabi offers a memory-boosting kick to an aging brain
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
Another large study has found a correlation between proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and an increased risk of dementia, particularly for those aged 60-69 years. But scientists still don’t fully understand why.

Senescent cells have been the number-one target for scientists seeking the elusive magic bullet in anti-aging therapy. And with good reason: as we age, these old, dysfunctional, non-dividing cells become increasingly harder for the immune system to dis… Continue reading Selective cell ‘hit jobs’ aim to reverse age-related conditions
