Brain volume study reveals anti-aging potential of taking the stairs

Posted on by

A new study suggests that even a moderate uptake of physical activity, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, can counter volume loss in key brain regions

Although we generally understand exercise to be good fo us in all sorts of ways, scientists continue to make interesting inroads around the specifics of this relationship. The latest comes from a team in Germany which has found that even slight changes to regular physical activity, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, can counter the age-related loss of volume in brain regions linked to disease.

“Time jump” anti-aging method gives specialized cells a 30-year refresh

Posted on by

Through experimentation with a highly promising anti-aging technique, scientists at the UK’s Babraham Institute have demonstrated a new way of turning back the clock in human skin cells. These cells functioned like cells 30 years younger, but in what r… Continue reading “Time jump” anti-aging method gives specialized cells a 30-year refresh→

Senolytic drugs boost protein that protects against effects of aging

Posted on by

Senolytics are an emerging class of drugs designed to target zombie-like cells that have stopped dividing and build up in the body as we age, and the past few years have seen some exciting discoveries that demonstrate their potential. Adding another to… Continue reading Senolytic drugs boost protein that protects against effects of aging→

Animal studies have consistently demonstrated calorie-controlled diets lead to better health and longer lifespans. Human trials testing different dietary regimes have established calorie restriction as an effective way to lose weight, but it hasn’t bee… Continue reading Anti-aging mechanism of calorie restriction identified in Yale study→

Anti-aging vaccine clears out dysfunctional cells that cause disease

Posted on by

Many of the all-too-familiar symptoms of aging can be attributed to a build-up of senescent cells, those which have stopped dividing. In a new study, researchers in Japan have identified a protein specific to these cells and developed a vaccine that ca… Continue reading Anti-aging vaccine clears out dysfunctional cells that cause disease→
