aging and longevity research
When it comes to the pursuit of a longer, healthier life, there are few factors as crucial as fitness and nutrition. These two pillars of well-being are essential for feeling great today and increasing your chances of enjoying a vibrant
It’s tough to pinpoint a single individual as the “leading” longevity researcher, as the field is highly interdisciplinary, and numerous scientists and researchers have made significant contributions. However, several scientists and institutions have been prominent in longevity research: Dr. David
Longevity genes, often called “longevity-associated genes” or “longevity-related genes,” are specific genes associated with an increased likelihood of living longer or a reduced risk of age-related diseases. These genes play a role in various biological processes and pathways influencing aging
Hair color is determined by the amount of a pigment called melanin. An abundance of one type of melanin, called eumelanin, gives people black or brown hair. An abundance of another pigment, called pheomelanin, gives people red hair. Hair color
Abstract Leigh syndrome is a mitochondrial disease characterized by neurological disorders, metabolic abnormalities, and premature death. There is no cure for Leigh syndrome; therefore, new therapeutic targets are urgently needed. In Ndufs4-KO mice, a mouse model of Leigh syndrome, we
Follistatin is a protein that our body makes naturally. Your body uses it to control metabolism, grow muscle, and boost fertility. Increasing follistatin can help you put on muscle quickly and may help you burn a significant amount of body fat.
Myostatin is a protein found almost exclusively in muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles), where it is active both before and after birth. This protein typically limits muscle growth, ensuring muscles do not grow too large. The MSTN gene provides instructions for making
In a small trial, drugs seemed to rejuvenate the body’s ‘epigenetic clock,’ which tracks a person’s biological age. A small clinical study in California has proposed for the first time that it might be possible to reverse the body’s epigenetic
Highlights •NMN suppresses age-associated body weight gain and enhances energy metabolism •NMN improves insulin sensitivity, eye function, and other features with no toxicity •NMN prevents age-associated gene expression changes in a tissue-specific manner •NMN is an effective anti-aging intervention that
