anti-aging

You might soon be buying anti-aging skincare products containing fish guts, thanks to a new study that found that the innards of two species of seabream possess compounds that fight wrinkles and age spots.

Weight training can be an intimidating and time-consuming exercise, but studies have shown that even light strength-work can speed up weight loss, stave off muscle loss and improve sleep. Now, one clever system has made it not just simple but enjoyable.

A drug used to induce labor in pregnant women has been shown to reactivate tiny waste-clearing pumps in the brains of old mice. The finding could hold promise for fighting Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and overall cognitive decline.

Diet has a huge role in health and disease as we age, but making long-term changes are not easy. Now, researchers believe it only takes two months of eating differently to significantly reduce your 'biological' age across five major organ systems.

For the first time, scientists have shown how a specific protein increases in our organs as we get older and actively promotes the aging process. By blocking this, we could not only live longer but be protected against physical decline and disease.

In pre-clinical trials, a small molecule effectively regrew neurons, reduced inflammation, and improved memory, speed, coordination, grip strength, and more. The finding could have a profound impact on aging and the diseases that accompany it.

By combining brain scans and nutritional intake data, a study has found a nutrient profile that puts the brakes on brain aging. What's more, that profile matches an easy-to-follow popular eating plan that's been proven to convey multiple benefits.

California-based biopharmaceutical company Rubedo Life Sciences has announced that thanks to US$40 million in financial backing, it can commence human trials of its drug RLS-1469, designed to target the senescent cells that cause age-related disease.

Tardigrades are famously tough little critters, and good for them – but what’s in it for us? A new study has found that tardigrade proteins can protect human cells from damage, potentially leading to new anti-aging therapies or tissue storage tech.

An 11-year-old Whippet called Boo is the first dog enrolled in a study to trial a drug designed to extend the healthy lifespan of senior dogs of almost all sizes. The researchers are looking for pawticipants across the US to enroll in the study.

Researchers have reprogrammed CAR T cells to target senescent cells that contribute to aging and later-life diseases, improving health and metabolism in old mice and causing young ones to age slower, protected from age-related diseases for life.

Declining fertility can make it harder to have kids in middle age. Now scientists have identified a mechanism that seems to accelerate aging of the ovaries – and found a way, in mice at least, to slow it down to boost fertility later in life.
