Ambrosia, the controversial medical startup selling transfusions of youthful blood under the premise it confers anti-aging benefits, has swiftly ceased operations hours after the FDA issued an oblique statement suggesting the treatment has not been proven to be safe or effective.

Researchers at the University of Michigan may have found a way to slow aging – in worms at least. The team has identified a molecule in neurons that, when blocked, improves motor function in older worms and increases their lifespan and general health. Similar pathways might be at work in humans too.

A study has revealed a new anti-aging strategy designed to help the immune system remove old and dysfunctional cells from the body. The initial animal experiments restored youthful characteristics in old mice, suggesting improving immune system surveillance may be an effective anti-aging therapy.

New research has found that endurance exercise, such as running, swimming or cycling, and high intensity interval training (HIIT) has the ability to not only slow, but actually reverse cellular aging, whereas resistance exercise, like pumping iron, does not.

Exciting research is highlighting a new subclass of anti-aging compounds hoped to extend lifespan, reduce the markers of aging, and slow the onset of diseases such as Alzheimer’s. The work is on the cusp of starting 2 human clinical trials investigating compounds derived from natural sources.

Research has found that a novel drug cocktail almost doubled the lifespan of a microscopic worm, the largest drug-induced lifespan extension in an animal ever reported. The study suggests that pharmacological intervention to help us live longer could be a realistic proposition.

New research has revealed that fisetin – a natural flavonoid found in many fruits and vegetables – functions as an effective senolytic agent by clearing out damaged aging cells, improving health and extending lifespan.

A new study from researchers at the University of Exeter has shown how three specifically designed compounds can target the mitochondria in older human cells, effectively rejuvenating those cells and making them act young again to reverse key signs of aging.

An emerging class of drugs called senolytics has been found to help restore the body to a more youthful state, and a new study has used a drug compound to extend the lifespan and improve the general health of older mice.
