Key Points: Our brain is the ultimate information integrator, attempting to predict environmental conditions to evoke a mind state that ensures our survival. Invisible to our conscious awareness, it communicates with the rest of our body, determining where to allocate finite energy. According to the brain-body energy conservation (BEC) theory of aging, precious energy is… Continue reading Are Senescent Cells Turning Your Hair Gray? A New Aging Theory

Anti-Aging Breakthrough? Harvard’s David Sinclair Predicts Age-Reversing Pill by 2035
Key Points: Harvard’s Dr. David Sinclair, one of the leading thinkers in longevity research, recently gave an interview with American engineer, physician, and entrepreneur Peter Diamandis on the current state of aging research. Intriguingly, Dr. Sinclair made a bold prediction that age-reversing pills may become available within the next 10 years or so, and he… Continue reading Anti-Aging Breakthrough? Harvard’s David Sinclair Predicts Age-Reversing Pill by 2035
New Findings: Anti-Aging Supplements Are Not “One-Size-Fits-All”
Key Points: For centuries, humanity has been captivated by the thought of turning back the aging clock. While a magic pill remains science fiction, researchers are uncovering fascinating insights into the biology of aging, and more importantly, how to influence it. A new review by Dr. Chaudhari and Dr. Ermolaeva from the Leibniz Institute on… Continue reading New Findings: Anti-Aging Supplements Are Not “One-Size-Fits-All”
New Study: Combining NR with NAC May Slow Telomere Shortening
Key Points: The shortening of the telomeres—the protective DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes—happens as we get older, and this phenomenon constitutes a hallmark of aging. Accordingly, shortened telomeres have been linked to age-related diseases affecting organs like the lungs, kidneys, and liver. Research suggests that genetic factors contribute between 36% to 82% of… Continue reading New Study: Combining NR with NAC May Slow Telomere Shortening
USC Study Suggests Longevity-Promoting Drug Counteracts a Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer’s
Key Points: As published in Communications Medicine, Pike and colleagues from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles find that in genetically engineered mice with the human version of a DNA sequence predisposing to dementia and accelerated aging (APOE4), treating with alfatradiol improves scores on an assessment of age-related physical decline (frailty index score).… Continue reading USC Study Suggests Longevity-Promoting Drug Counteracts a Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer’s
Anti-Aging Drug Rapamycin Extends Life as Much as Dieting, New Study Shows
Key Points: The pursuit of living longer has moved from ancient myths to modern laboratories, where scientists are meticulously unraveling the complex biological processes of aging. Among the most promising avenues of research are dietary restriction (DR) and certain compounds that mimic its effects. A recent meta-analysis, a powerful research method that combines findings from… Continue reading Anti-Aging Drug Rapamycin Extends Life as Much as Dieting, New Study Shows
Latest Research: Two FDA-Approved Drugs Additively Extend Lifespan
Key Points: Figuring out which molecular pathways scientists should target to promote longevity has gained momentum in the aging research field in the last two to three decades. For example, in 2003, Müller and colleagues from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland showed that inhibiting a protein that regulates cell growth and proliferation (mTOR) significantly… Continue reading Latest Research: Two FDA-Approved Drugs Additively Extend Lifespan
Latest Human Trial from the Buck Institute Shows Plasma Exchange Lowers Biological Age
Key Points: In a first-of-its-kind human study published in Aging Cell, Furman and colleagues from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging show that removing and replacing blood plasma with a fresh solution (therapeutic plasma exchange) confers about a 1.32-year reduction in biological age. Additionally, combining therapeutic plasma exchange with injections of a concentrated solution… Continue reading Latest Human Trial from the Buck Institute Shows Plasma Exchange Lowers Biological Age
Longevity Secrets in Your Genome: Hidden mTOR Variants Identified
Key Points: In a new study published in GeroScience, German researchers have uncovered compelling evidence that a cellular pathway called mTOR, often described as the body’s “longevity switch,” may hold the key to understanding how we age and how to extend healthy lifespan. What Is the mTOR Pathway? The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling… Continue reading Longevity Secrets in Your Genome: Hidden mTOR Variants Identified
