Estrogen therapy increased CSF α-klotho levels in rhesus monkeys, and higher α-klotho levels were linked to healthier Aβ profiles. In humans, both CSF and blood α-klotho levels were higher in people without dementia. pulse.ly/luexe4heyr
Aging populations around the Pacific Rim are pushing universities to shift their teaching focus and prioritize research in health and aging. However, these changes come amid growing uncertainty around research funding. At a recent APRU meeting, UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk and…
This study looked at anxiety and depression in older adults with and without frailty. The results showed no major differences in how symptoms were connected or how strong those connections were between the two groups. This means treatments for anxiety and depression can be…
This study looked at people with brain injuries and found that those who developed kidney problems (AKI) had lower levels of a protein called Klotho. People with higher Klotho levels had better chances of recovery. Klotho was also a better warning sign of kidney issues than the…
This study shows that SKL-MSCs are more effective than regular MSCs at reducing EAE symptoms and brain inflammation. This may be due to their stronger ability to protect the blood-brain barrier.
In conclusion, our study reveals a link between depression and telomere length (TL), suggesting TL could be a useful biomarker and support personalized treatment. Further research is needed to explore this relationship and improve outcomes. pulse.ly/jes1sexujx
Additionally, mice engineered to produce extra FGF21 were protected from obesity and fatty liver disease, unlike most in the control group. They also showed improved blood sugar regulation, enhanced insulin sensitivity, healthier cholesterol levels, and reduced inflammation in…
Longevity biotech is booming, with strategies from antioxidants to advanced cellular rejuvenation. A major focus is on senescent cells—damaged cells that stop dividing and release harmful inflammation (SASP). While they help prevent cancer, their buildup over time may drive aging…
The VIBRANT study tested rapamycin in 50 healthy women to explore its potential to slow reproductive aging. The drug was well tolerated, with some reporting benefits like improved memory. Researchers believe it may help preserve ovarian reserve by slowing follicle activation. A…
Neural progenitor cells stay active in the hippocampus into late adulthood, allowing new neurons to form. These neurons appear in the dentate gyrus, which plays a key role in memory and learning. Differences in this process between individuals may help guide treatments for brain…
The second International Longevity Summit is returning to Madrid, organized by ICOMEM and the International Longevity Alliance, with over 500 participants expected. Among the many distinguished speakers, Liz Parrish, CEO of BioViva, will share her insights on cutting-edge gene…
A single jab of a breakthrough gene therapy could reverse hearing loss in people within weeks, according to new research. pulse.ly/fq2ug4sjnv
Telomere fragility is linked to telomere length and telomerase activity. Lab tests confirmed that short telomeres were more fragile, especially in clones with lower telomerase activity. pulse.ly/wyoivo3b1g
Love this team of Gene Therapy specialists and AI experts.
Ivan and Anna are in great company at RAADfest 2025 in Las Vegas. Don't miss Anna's keynote speech on Saturday evening!
Gene Therapy Can Restore Hearing in Adults, First-of-Its-Kind Trial Shows pulse.ly/7ouexrz0lg
It’s disheartening that life-saving drugs are priced out of reach for the very people they were designed to help. There’s a special place in history for those who chose profit over healing—while the world waits, lives are lost. stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360745…
"This study suggests a possible U-shaped relationship between ferritin levels and the risk of sarcopenia, indicating that both low and high ferritin concentrations may be associated with muscle deterioration. pulse.ly/cktm2z0trx
Cellular senescence helps suppress cancer but also accelerates tissue aging through chronic inflammation (SASP). Regulated by p53/p21 and p16^INK4a^/Rb pathways, it’s now being further unraveled by multi-omics, revealing new biomarkers and therapeutic…
