Key Points: The rise of an aging world population has led to a rise in diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Along with older age, these age-related conditions are risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) — characterized by progressive kidney damage and the gradual decline of kidney function. To preserve function and longevity, our… Continue reading The Senolytic Fisetin Shields the Kidney from Injury and Damage: Korean Study

New Study Suggests Rapamycin Can Reverse Hair Graying and Promote Hair Growth
Key Points: Perhaps the most classic feature of aging is gray hair. Like aging itself, the hair-graying process is thought by many to be irreversible. However, it was recently discovered that hairs become gray due to trapped pigment-producing stem cells. Therefore, restoring the capacity of these stem cells to produce coloration may be a feasible… Continue reading New Study Suggests Rapamycin Can Reverse Hair Graying and Promote Hair Growth
Taiwanese Study Reveals Resveratrol’s Remarkable Role in Kidney Health and Senescent Cell Reduction
Key Points: As many as nine out of ten adults don’t know they have chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to the CDC. This decline in our kidneys’ capacity to filter blood may in part be due to senescent cells — cells that accumulate with age and promote inflammation and tissue damage. However, scientists from National… Continue reading Taiwanese Study Reveals Resveratrol’s Remarkable Role in Kidney Health and Senescent Cell Reduction
Most Powerful Life-Extending Agent To-Date Discovered in Ancient Volcano Crater
Key Points: In his new book, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, Dr. Peter Attia describes the story of rapamycin’s discovery. “The story of how this molecule was discovered, and how it revolutionized the study of longevity, is one of the most incredible sagas in biology.” – Peter Attia, M.D. Stanford-educated Attia was trained… Continue reading Most Powerful Life-Extending Agent To-Date Discovered in Ancient Volcano Crater
Tech Guru Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint: How to Age Slower than the Average 10-Year-Old
Key Points: Bryan Johnson takes age reversal very seriously. In 2013, he sold his company Braintree, an electronic payment platform, for $800 million. Despite this financial success, he realized he needed to make some drastic changes. Johnson currently runs Kernel, a neurotech company that produces brain-signal-measuring helmets, and OS Fund, a venture capital fund that… Continue reading Tech Guru Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint: How to Age Slower than the Average 10-Year-Old
How to Age Like Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston
Key Points: Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston both turned 54 this year, placing them in the public eye for over a quarter of a century. As time has passed, many have wondered how they have aged so gracefully. Here are some of Paul and Jennifer’s answers. Paul Rudd is the star of the recently released… Continue reading How to Age Like Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston
Anti-Diabetes Drug Counters Arthritis by Balancing Cholesterol: Korean Study
Key Points: The dysregulation of cholesterol is associated with multiple age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and arthritis (osteoarthritis). However, just how cholesterol dysregulation affects so many diseases is unclear. Now, researchers from Seoul National University in Korea help elucidate the role of cholesterol in aging with new findings published in Nature… Continue reading Anti-Diabetes Drug Counters Arthritis by Balancing Cholesterol: Korean Study
Metformin Outperforms Rapamycin in Reversing Stem Cell Alterations: Albert Einstein College
Key Points: Thanks to our stem cells, most of our organs (save the heart and brain) have the remarkable capability of regenerating damaged or lost tissue. However, with age, this regenerative capacity declines, which is perhaps best exemplified by our intestinal tissue. Loss of intestinal regenerative capacity contributes to age-related intestinal disorders and could be… Continue reading Metformin Outperforms Rapamycin in Reversing Stem Cell Alterations: Albert Einstein College
New Study Shows Senolytic Combination Alleviates Postmenopausal Osteoporosis and Promotes Bone Regeneration
Key Points Estrogen deficiency-driven postmenopausal osteoporosis encompasses imbalanced bone metabolism, leading to bone fragility in aged women. Estrogen supplementation accounts for one of the few recommended treatment options, but its side effects include blood clots and increased risks for breast and uterine cancers. As such, researchers continue their search for safer and more effective ways… Continue reading New Study Shows Senolytic Combination Alleviates Postmenopausal Osteoporosis and Promotes Bone Regeneration
Study Shows Intermittent Fasting Delays Reproductive Aging and Promotes Fertility
Key Points: Intermittent fasting (IF) is beneficial for numerous age-related conditions, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Now, a new study shows that IF can also increase oocyte egg quality, which naturally decreases with age and leads to decreased successful pregnancies in older individuals. The study, out of China, published in Free Radical… Continue reading Study Shows Intermittent Fasting Delays Reproductive Aging and Promotes Fertility
