Anti-Aging NAD+ Precursor Supplement May Promote Anxiety, New Study Shows

Key Points:  A new study from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) suggests the story of NR and aging is more complex than once thought. While NR shows promise in bolstering the immune system, it also appears to heighten sensitivity to stress.  Importance of NAD+ and Its Precursor NR   As we age, our NAD+ levels… Continue reading Anti-Aging NAD+ Precursor Supplement May Promote Anxiety, New Study Shows

Anti-Aging Vaccine Boosts Strength, Memory & NAD+ in New Study

Key Points:  What if we could slow down the aging process, or even reverse some of its effects? This is the tantalizing question that drives a significant amount of scientific research, and recent findings, published in Aging Cell, offer a glimmer of hope in the form of a novel vaccine. A New Way to Combat… Continue reading Anti-Aging Vaccine Boosts Strength, Memory & NAD+ in New Study

NAD+ Supercharges Immune System Recovery In Older Mice, Hurts Blood Stem Cells of Young Mice

Key Points: Blood stem cells help our bodies repair and grow new tissues all through our lives, and scientists have found a way to keep them from dying off too quickly as we get older. Getting rid of or blocking an enzyme that breaks down NAD+, a molecule important for keeping stem cells young, can… Continue reading NAD+ Supercharges Immune System Recovery In Older Mice, Hurts Blood Stem Cells of Young Mice

Revitalizing Immune Cells & Eye Function: NMN Study Unveils Remarkable Findings

Key Points: Published in Cell Reports, Apte and colleagues from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis provide data suggesting that cellular NAD+ depletion leads to senescence, at least in white blood cells called macrophages in mice. They also show that, in macrophages, falling cellular NAD+ and senescence propel age-related macular degeneration (AMD) —… Continue reading Revitalizing Immune Cells & Eye Function: NMN Study Unveils Remarkable Findings

Engineered Immune Cells Can Hunt Down and Eliminate Aging Cells

Key Points: Researchers at Sichuan University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences came up with a way to find and kill cells that are known to cause aging and diseases linked to aging. The scientists describe how they made an immune cell that targets a specific protein called Natural Killer Group 2 Member D (NKG2D)… Continue reading Engineered Immune Cells Can Hunt Down and Eliminate Aging Cells

Olive Oil and Margarine Beat Butter in Breakfast Battle for Reducing Inflammation: Spanish Study 

Key Points:  If worrying about what to eat was not enough, studies indicate that when to eat is important for healthy aging as well. However, this may not be complicated, as a new study from the Universidad Católica de Murcia in Spain reveals.  In the study, published in Nutrients, Delgado-Alarcon and colleagues showed that inflammatory… Continue reading Olive Oil and Margarine Beat Butter in Breakfast Battle for Reducing Inflammation: Spanish Study

Buck Institute Study Shows Low NAD+ Drives Reproductive Aging and Hinders Fertility

Key Points:  A woman’s reproductive lifespan is largely determined by her ovarian reserve — a finite number of oocytes that decreases with age. Declining oocyte numbers inevitably hampers fertility, which usually occurs during a woman’s late 30s. However, scientists from the Buck Institute in California believe that reproductive lifespan can be prolonged, which could also… Continue reading Buck Institute Study Shows Low NAD+ Drives Reproductive Aging and Hinders Fertility

Urolithin A Can Revitalize Blood Stem Cells in People and Mice, Study Finds

Key Points: Research at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at the University of Lausanne shows that a molecule called urolithin A can make old blood stem cells better at making blood and immune systems. Blood stem cells from old people were given Urolithin A for three days, which made them better able to grow… Continue reading Urolithin A Can Revitalize Blood Stem Cells in People and Mice, Study Finds
