Increased expression of the protein changed chromatin accessibility in the liver of 24-month-old male mice within a month and returned gene activity patterns to a more youthful direction; there is still no evidence that this is a treatment for young people.

Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have found that cells that age slowly and cells in which epigenetic changes accumulate rapidly coexist within the same tissue. The study, published in Nature Communications, was conducted at the single-cell level.

One in five women in the sample who had undergone cosmetic treatments was at moderate to high risk for a pattern of compulsive use. The factors most strongly associated with this were low body image and problematic use.

Researchers at the University of Central Florida exposed an animal model to simulated microgravity and radiation that simulates deep space travel. The liver showed changes associated with cellular aging, inflammation, and fibrosis. Some of the genetic signatures resembled data from samples

New research led by the Hebrew University points to a gene that demonstrates a rare evolutionary compromise: it aids in rapid growth and early sexual maturation, but may shorten life expectancy and increase the risk of tumors later in life.

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University and Soroka have found a significant link between obstructive sleep apnea and a decline in skeletal muscle quality, in addition to a previous link to a decline in bone density. The findings may aid in the early detection of

A study in Nature Communications found adaptations for low-light vision and hints at maintenance mechanisms that prevent retinal degeneration in extreme old age. However, despite the evolutionary and environmental distance, it may be possible to learn something about the preservation of vision in humans.

The researchers showed that a deficiency in SIRT6 (which declines with age) diverts tryptophan into the neurotoxic kynurenine pathway at the expense of serotonin and melatonin production; inhibiting the enzyme TDO2 in fruit flies reduced brain damage and neuromotor deterioration. The findings were published in Nature

Dr. Roy Tsezana, former principal investigator at XPRIZE for aging, talks about the $101M competition to rejuvenate humans — and new research that rejuvenates cognition, immunity, and bone in monkeys, reduces senescent cells, and turns back “age clocks” by 5–7 years

Dutch researchers found that this process happens all the time and damages all genes, but the longer the genes, the more likely they are to be damaged because they have more sites. Especially the big damage is

Many theories have been proposed in the past - and are still being proposed - as a way to explain the phenomenon of aging. In recent years, a new theory has been added to them that explains aging. Seemingly, there is nothing new in this, but really
