Key Points: Our brain is connected to our heart by thousands of neurons. However, conditions of cardiac aging, such as irregular heart rhythms, can be triggered by neurons disconnecting from the heart. Now, scientists from Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany have found that senescent cells may promote this disconnection. Wagner and colleagues report in Science… Continue reading German Study Shows Senolytics Restore Heart-Brain Connection to Reverse Cardiac Aging

Dr. Ernst von Schwarz, a heart transplant specialist who sees patients from the entertainment industry, said that celebrities use stem cell injections to both lengthen their lives and make them… Continue reading Hollywood Doctor Says Stem Cells Are the Secret to Anti-Aging
New Study Reveals Activating Sirtuins Could Reverse Heart Aging
Key Points: Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine have found that SIRT2 is an enzyme involved in monkey heart aging. Lowering SIRT2 levels made heart cells (cardiomyocytes) from human stem cells act a lot like old monkey hearts that were formed naturally. In contrast,… Continue reading New Study Reveals Activating Sirtuins Could Reverse Heart Aging
Over-the-Counter Wonders: New Research Highlights Two Compounds for a Longer Life
Key Points: A consortium of researchers that test longevity interventions in mice uses a large number of mice to enhance the statistical power of their findings. Moreover, they perform their tests at three different locations — the University of Michigan, the Jackson Laboratory in Maine, and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San… Continue reading Over-the-Counter Wonders: New Research Highlights Two Compounds for a Longer Life
Senolytic Compound Fisetin Preserves Artery Wall Elasticity to Combat Cardiovascular Disease
Key Points: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Furthermore, artery dysfunction and artery wall stiffening precede the development of CVD with aging. Keeping this in mind, halting the progression of artery dysfunction and stiffening could mitigate the occurrence of CVD and prolong the lifespan of millions. Now, researchers from the University… Continue reading Senolytic Compound Fisetin Preserves Artery Wall Elasticity to Combat Cardiovascular Disease
Stanford: Organ Aging Predicts Human Lifespan
Key Points: Scientists have previously found that our organs age at different rates, and rapidly aging organs predict mortality. However, the measurements used to calculate organ age, including blood samples, stool samples, physical fitness tests, and facial imaging, may be impractical for measuring the age of our organs routinely in the clinic. Now, researchers from… Continue reading Stanford: Organ Aging Predicts Human Lifespan
