Key Points:  Andrew Huberman is a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. He also hosts the Huberman Lab podcast where he “discusses science and science-based tools for everyday life.” In an Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode of the podcast, Huberman was asked,  “There seems to be a lot of conjecture about… Continue reading Stanford’s Dr. Andrew Huberman Takes Two NAD+ Precursors Daily: NMN and NR 

Key Points:  Today it seems possible to treat multiple age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes with a single treatment. Now researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles may have discovered such a treatment.  As reported in Scientific Reports, Shamagian and colleagues show that stem cell EVs prolong the lifespan of old rats. They… Continue reading Cedars-Sinai Scientists Identify Stem Cell-Secreted Particles that Boost Lifespan and Endurance 

Key Points:  Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Indiana University at Bloomington discovered that male mice given a pill made of a pharmaceutical-grade compound from a young age had a significantly longer lifespan than male mice that did not receive the pill. The pill contained an agonist for ghrelin, a molecule produced… Continue reading New Pill Increases Male Mouse Lifespan, Study Shows

Key Points:  Researchers from several Shanghai universities collaborated in a study showing that a naturally-occurring compound in citrus fruits—such as lemons, grapefruits, oranges, and tangerines—extends lifespan and healthspan in animals. In roundworms, nomilin increased lifespan by 24%, which the researchers report occurs through a mechanism that enhances detoxification pathway activity. In mouse models of premature… Continue reading Citrus Compound Significantly Increases Lifespan and Healthspan in Aging Models

Key Points:  Dr. João Pedro de Magalhães is the Chair of Molecular Biogerontology at the University of Birmingham in England where he leads the Genomics of Aging and Rejuvenation Lab. His website, senescence.info is an information and educational resource that has been featured in prominent peer-reviewed journals such as Science and Aging Cell. In one… Continue reading Scientists and Elon Musk Agree Age Reversal Will Bring Cultural Stagnation

Key Points:  Scientists are beginning to identify the underlying causes of aging. The hope is that targeting these underlying causes, called the hallmarks of aging, can prevent or delay multiple leading causes of death, including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Under this new paradigm, death — the inevitable end of life — can be postponed.  … Continue reading Mayo Clinic Scientists: Prolonging Human Lifespan by Combining NAD⁺ Boosters and Senolytics

Key Points: Recently, Bryan Johnson — a successful entrepreneur worth an estimated $400 million — has made headlines by revealing his results from swapping blood with his son and father. Although Johnson’s day job includes his roles as the CEO of Kernel and OS Fund, he’s making waves for his personal mission to slow down… Continue reading Tech Millionaire Bryan Johnson Takes NAD⁺ Boosters to Become 16 Again

Key Points: A new study that was recently published in the journal Science reveals that taurine, a semi-essential micronutrient that can frequently be discovered in energy drinks, may be an interesting target for healthy aging and the promotion of longevity. Taurine levels tend to drop with age in mice, monkeys, and people, according to the… Continue reading Taurine: A Common Ingredient In Energy Drinks Makes Animals Live Longer
