In a groundbreaking study, scientists have mapped the most detailed genetic blueprint yet of frailty – the age-related decline that affects around 40% of people aged 65 and over. It provides new hope for developing precision anti-aging therapies.

Harnessing the power of a metabolite produced in the kidneys and absorbed from certain foods can mimic the health benefits delivered by exercise, regulating inflammation and promoting an array of anti-aging processes without any physical activity.

Extensive brain cell mapping has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens the door to developing new treatments for age-related brain diseases.
