Scientists Want a Speedometer for Aging. These 12 Signals Could Be the Start
Researchers propose 12 biological signals that might reveal whether aging is currently moving faster or slower. The candidates come mostly from mouse…
How Diet and Microbes Unlocked a Longevity Pathway in Worms
A worm study connects bacterial nutrients, RICTOR and mitochondrial cleanup. It provides no evidence that supplements extend human lifespan.
She Lived to 117. Her Biology Shows That Aging and Disease Are Not Quite the Same Thing
Maria Branyas carried clear molecular signs of extreme age alongside low inflammatory markers and other features associated with good health. Her detailed…
Scientists Found One of the Body’s Natural Brakes on Inflammation
A small human study traced a fat-derived signaling pathway that limited inflammatory immune cells and hastened pain resolution. It did not test…
Natural Compounds Cleared Senescent Cells and Extended Lifespan in Old Mice
Salvianolic acids A, B and E selectively killed senescent cells and improved function and survival in aged mice, but there is no…
Higher Folate Tracked With Slower Biological Aging. That Does Not Mean Supplements Slow Aging.
In older adults from India, higher folate tracked with slower biological aging while higher homocysteine tracked with faster aging. The longitudinal study…
A Huge Longevity Screen Shows Why Animal Lifespan Results Often Fail to Translate
Researchers tested more than 400 potential lifespan-extending compounds across yeast, worms, flies, killifish, and mice. The uneven results show why success in…
Your Gut Microbiome May Track Inflammaging Better Than Your Age
In 1,199 adults, gut microbiome composition tracked inflammatory and physiological differences more strongly than chronological age. The study is observational and does…
Six Biological Age Clocks Moved Younger After an AI-Designed Drug. Did Aging Actually Slow?
Rentosertib lowered predicted biological age across six protein-based clocks in a small pulmonary fibrosis trial. The result is intriguing, but it does…
Singapore Is Building a National Test Bed for Healthy Longevity
A S$350 million Grand Challenge connects aging research with real healthcare settings. Population studies and biomarker validation could help guide future care,…
