Inhibition of NF-κB Delays Senescence and Aging
A groundbreaking study on aging has been published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The scientists set out to understand how DNA damage and aging are related. It is believed damage to DNA...
View ArticleNovel Screening Method Finds New Potent Anti-Aging Compound
Scientists in Japan have developed and reported a new methodology for assessing the chronological lifespan of yeast. These single celled eukaryotes are often used in lifespan experiments as the basic...
View ArticleMethylene Blue May Improve Mitochondrial Health and Increase Lifespan
Mitochondrial dysfunction appears to play an important role in aging. As these crucial intracellular organelles become damaged by the ROS they create, they become less efficient leading to more ROS...
View ArticleNew Study Confirms Rapamcycin Extends Lifespan in Normal Mice
Rapamycin may very well be the first drug capable of potently slowing the aging process. It is known to target a critical cellular switch called mTOR. This switch controls several lines of cell...
View ArticleNewly Created Synthetic Mitochondrial Targeted Antioxidant Found to be Effective
The aging process is at least in part due to due accumulative cellular damage inflicted by reactive oxygen species (ROS). This ROS is mostly created by the mitochondria as they metabolize glucose and...
